Iñigo Jofre Manzanares

Iñigo Jofre Manzanares is a professional padel player from United Arab Emirates, aged 26, standing 1.85 metres tall. Born on 13 August 2000 in United Arab Emirates, he plays on the drive side and is currently ranked 30. He partners Juanlu Esbri.

Íñigo Jofre Manzanares trained through the Canary Islands' M3 Academy before taking an unusual turn in his international career: despite being Spanish-born, he competes for the United Arab Emirates, one of several Spain-raised players recruited by UAE padel officials, alongside names like Fran Jurado and Arnau Ayats, to build the country's World Padel Championship project, a move that drew some debate in Spanish padel media.

Jofre has partnered Luis Hernández and Juan Tello over his career before more recently teaming with fellow Spaniard Jairo Bautista, winning the FIP Silver Betclic in Abidjan in April 2026. He has said he values the stability his university studies gave him alongside padel, and that taking time away from the sport during his studies helped him maintain "freshness and enthusiasm."
