When a player wins a tournament, three things happen: they take a photo, they post it on Instagram, and they keep that trophy as a memory.
The problem? Most trophies look exactly the same. At The Champions Lab we believe every win deserves better.
Forget the golden cups you've seen a thousand times. We design trophies built for:
Every piece is designed so the awards moment feels special.
The winner lifts the trophy. Friends pull out their phones. Photos. Videos. Stories. That's the moment everyone will remember. That's the moment our trophies are built for.
A design that impresses at first sight
A trophy that looks great in every single share
Not in a drawer. In the most visible spot of the house
Four reasons clubs choose us for their tournaments.
Trophies completely different from the classics on the market. Pieces that start conversations.
Tournament name, club, sponsors or category. Everything designed for your specific event.
We know many tournaments come together on short notice. We adapt to your deadlines.
Something players will actually want to keep. Not stash in a drawer. A trophy worth bragging about.
The Champions Lab was born from two ways of looking at the same sport: the court and the digital business. Antonio Carneros brought the court. After an accident left him paraplegic, he proved his mindset was far ahead of any physical limitation and got into adaptive padel, competing among the best in Spain — a country that holds and defends the world title in wheelchair padel, a discipline now recognized by the Spanish Padel Federation.
Carlos Bellvis brought the other half: the digital business vision. After years building online projects, he discovered in padel much more than a sport: communities, passion, and countless moments that deserved more than a blurry photo. That's where he saw the gap — the trophies handed out at tournaments weren't up to what padel had become. That was the spark: pieces designed for Instagram, not for the drawer.
When Antonio and Carlos joined forces, the pieces clicked. They started with giant custom paddles for players and clubs to take photos with — some clubs grew their social following fivefold — and everything else grew from there. Today The Champions Lab makes trophies, medals, giant paddles and custom pieces with one simple idea: that lifting a prize should be unforgettable, and the photo that captures it should last forever.
