The International Table Tennis Federation Foundation (ITTF Foundation) invites you to celebrate the World Table Tennis Day April 23rd 2024!

The World Table Tennis Day looks to celebrate the sport, in a way to encourage people from all walks of life and embrace diversity around ONE table, the table tennis table. No matter where you are in the world, if you are passionate about sport, the ITTF Foundation welcomes you to join the World Table Tennis Day celebration on April 23rd 2024. The access to play table tennis should be a matter of inclusivity as the sport ‘belongs’ to everyone.

Last year, the world witnessed over 400 celebrations in 111 countries and territories, and this year with over 2 months to go we already have 114 registered events in 54 countries and territories. Let’s keep the ball rolling by registering your celebration on the ITTF Foundation’s website!

What do you have to do?

1. Create a table tennis session, match, tournament, festival or any other creative platform to enjoy the sport with or without regular table tennis equipment (use regular desks instead of TT tables, phones instead of rackets and be as creative as you like!). Next up, invite people of different age groups, gender identities, abilities, nationalities, backgrounds, contexts etc. to play together while celebrating the idea of diversity!
2. Register your ‘event’ on our website (don’t worry – it can be as small or big in size as you want and can manage): https://forms.ittf.com/form/wttd_2024_registration_form_en
3. As an incentive, we’ll be giving 10 lucky celebration event organizers exclusive table tennis kits or autographed t-shirts by renowned table tennis players.
4. We may also use the celebration pictures you share for our ITTF Foundation article, highlighting your vibrant spirit!

If you feel you are not a good table tennis player or have no experience with the sport, don’t worry because #TTBelongsToYou and to everyone!

This year, we are going to practise what we are preaching. The ITTF Foundation is celebrating its 5th anniversary and to mark this special occasion, we are celebrating it with our own event on 23rd April in Leipzig, Germany at the Central Train Station.
