BritCham Vietnam Announces One-Day Wimbledon Pickleball Festival in Ho Chi Minh City

BritCham Vietnam will host the BritCham "Wimbledon" Pickleball Tournament 2026 as a one-day social-competitive festival on Saturday, 18 April 2026 at the GoPick Sports Complex (also referred to as GoPick Pickleball), 250 Lương Định Của Street, Bình Trưng Ward, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City. The event runs 7:00 AM - 1:30 PM (07:00 - 13:30 GMT+7) and is “limited to 32 teams only,” the chamber says.

The tournament is a mixed-doubles event with the entry requirement listed exactly as: “Mixed doubles: 1 female & 1 male.” Entry fees are published as Member: 1,800,000 VND per team, with member pricing applying when one or both players are BritCham members, and Non-member: 2,100,000 VND per team. BritCham describes the format as a “social-competitive festival” promising energetic matches alongside a social atmosphere.

Prizes and event features are scaled to the Wimbledon theme. BritCham’s prize copy lists “Champions – trophies and top prizes” and “Runners-up – because second place still deserves applause.” The Glueup event page adds a “Fashionista Award – for the best Wimbledon-inspired outfit on court” and notes “Great prizes for the winners and runners up but also in the lucky draw - You could be a winner too!” Spectators are explicitly invited: “Spectators and supporters are warmly invited to cheer, mingle, and admire the fashion.”

Organiser promotion leans into style and socialising. In publicity BritCham writes, “Time to dress sharp, play hard, and enjoy a smashing day out!” and describes the event as “Where classic British sporting elegance meets fast-paced pickleball fun.” The chamber frames the 2026 date as a comeback, saying, “After the resounding success and fantastic atmosphere of our August 2025 tournament, BritCham is thrilled to be coming back bigger, better, and more stylish than ever with the BritCham 'Wimbledon' Pickleball Tournament 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City!” An Instagram post from the chamber states: “The wait is officially over! BritCham Vietnam is turning up the heat this April with the return of our signature Pickleball Tournament 2026!”

BritCham’s event listing urges quick registration: “Places will fill quickly - sign up now and be part of the BritCham Pickleball comeback in 2026!” The public event header on Facebook lists the same date and 7:00 AM start time and confirms BritCham as host. The event copy also spells out the intended audience: “All are welcome, BritCham members, corporate teams, pickleball enthusiasts. Whether you are competitive, social, or simply here for the outfit and atmosphere, there's a place for you on court.”

The published listings do not specify competition mechanics such as bracket structure, match length or scoring, number of courts, registration deadline, refund policy, or media accreditation. Journalists and interested teams seeking those operational details will need to request them directly from BritCham or the GoPick venue before the 18 April date. The BritCham "Wimbledon" Pickleball Tournament 2026 will take place Saturday, 18 April 2026 | 7:00 AM - 1:30 PM (07:00 - 13:30 GMT+7) at GoPick Sports Complex / GoPick Pickleball, 250 Lương Định Của Street, Bình Trưng Ward, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City.
