The second edition of the Artists' Tournament will take place on November 15, 2026, at Padel One in Bucharest, uniting 36 personalities from music, sports, film, television, and the online sphere. The initiative, created by DJ and music producer Mahony alongside Bogdan Techeș, aims to raise funds dedicated to building the Neuroatypic Center. [1]
The first edition of the tournament, held last year in an EA FC/FIFA gaming format, brought together over 34 participants and raised over 6,000 euros. The new format shifts the competition from virtual to the padel court, maintaining the same charitable mission and inviting the general public to contribute to a project of social interest. [1]
Confirmed participants include BRomania, Speak, Ciprian Marica, Lukas Szukala, Raul Rusescu, Aris Eram, Natanticu, Denis Hanganu, Dorian Boguță, Dorian Popa, Emi, Cucu, Alex Delea, Keed, Diana Alexis, Ines State, Yasmin Awad, Sabin Streza, Dracea, Radu MotorBike, Tibi Crețu, and Emilian. The event will be streamed live on YouTube and TikTok starting at 15:00, hosted by Bogdan Techeș, Ionuț Bodonea, and Denisao. [1]
‘We are not doing our first charitable initiative and certainly do not want it to be our last. This year, we want to do things better, bring more people together, and channel the energy of a community into concrete help for those in need,’ states Mahony, co-initiator of the project. [1]
Bogdan Techeș adds: 'Since discovering padel, I have instantly associated it with the idea of beautiful human interaction... Let’s succeed at a higher level in being closer to one another. In the times we live in, unfortunately, there are many needs that must be heard and supported.’ [1]
All funds collected will be donated to the Neuroatypic Foundation for the realization of the Neuroatypic Center in Bucharest. The project includes the development of 60 therapy offices, along with spaces for sports, play, and socialization, designed according to the sensory and developmental needs of beneficiaries. [1]
The event is organized by TakeNotes and HITalent, with the support of principal partners ING Bank and Padel One. Logistical and operational support comes from Padel XP, Stay Fit Gym, GymBeam, FAN Courier, Linea, Vitamin Aqua, MarkeTools, and Padel RankUp, while live production is handled by Nexus Gaming. [1]
Media partners of the initiative are PRO TV, GSP, Observator, Cancan, and Nostalgia Radio (radio partner). The community and fans of the participants are invited to watch the broadcast and make donations through channels indicated in real-time to help complete this medical and educational project. [1]
