Vietnamese paddle brand Facolos has signed men's doubles world No. 1 Gabe Tardio (20, Bolivia) to a sponsorship deal running through 2027. The announcement came on January 13, 2026. Armed with its flagship EliteX model, Facolos is aiming to enter the US market in 2026 - an Asian brand pushing into the sport's heartland with a top-ranked player on its books.<\/p>\n

Signing the 20-year-old men's doubles world No. 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tardio is a 20-year-old from Bolivia and the men's doubles world No. 1 (partnered with Ben Johns). In 2025 he won nine PPA Tour gold medals with Ben Johns (world No. 1) and took the Australia Pickleball Open with Tyson McGuffin. In mixed doubles he added three medals (two silver, one bronze) with Jessie Irvine, and he has two singles titles as well. Facolos has put a young player with a real resume front and center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

An Asian player, one year in business, present in 13 countries<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Facolos is new, about a year in business as of January 2026, but it already operates in 13 countries and has raised its presence mainly in the Asian market. It also serves as the official sponsor of the PPA Tour Asia. An emerging brand that expanded its reach in a short time with Asia as its foothold has set the largest market, the U.S., as its next target.<\/p>\n
