To accommodate the growing interest surrounding Waters’ return, IAM Worldwide has secured the iconic venue to give more supporters the opportunity to experience the event live.
“The moment Anna Leigh Waters stepped onto Philippine soil last October, the clamor from fans and players was electric,” stated IAM Worldwide in an official statement. “We quickly realized that an ordinary venue simply wouldn’t suffice. Moving this showcase to the Smart Araneta Coliseum was an easy decision driven entirely by the overwhelming public demand. We want to ensure that as many fans as possible have the opportunity to witness the world’s greatest pickleball player in action, live.”
Exclusive ticket pre-sales for registered IAM Worldwide members will begin on November 5, 2026, giving members priority access ahead of the general public. General ticket sales will follow on November 9, 2026.

The December event marks Waters’ return to the Philippines following her initial visit in October 2026. Her debut appearance drew enthusiastic crowds of local players, junior athletes, and sports fans eager to witness the global face of pickleball up close.
Moved by the overwhelming support of her Filipino fans, Waters joined IAM Worldwide’s executive leadership onstage during an exclusive press conference at Dusit Thani Manila on October 15, 2026. It was there that she first announced her return in December for a major coliseum showcase in partnership with the health and wellness brand.
During the briefing, Waters cited the hospitality, warmth, and growing enthusiasm for pickleball in the Philippines as key reasons behind her decision to return, expressing excitement about sharing the court and stage with thousands of local fans at one of the country’s most iconic venues.
