Kem Cetinay's 24 Hour Padel Challenge

After spending the last two years playing padel and making it his mission to master this viral sport, this October, The Capital Weekender host has decided to turn his hobby into a 24-hour challenge.

From Thursday 9th - Friday 10th October, Kem will play a 24-hour game of padel at Canary Wharf’s Padium in London. He’ll be playing round the clock, all for a great cause, to raise money for Capital’s official charity, Global’s Make Some Noise.

Throughout the challenge, Kem will play against padel pros, celebrity friends and Capital listeners, with some surprises thrown in along the way.
