ETTU has officially opened the bidding process for the 2027 JOOLA Europe Youth Series, inviting Member Associations to submit applications to host one of the events on next year’s calendar. To support prospective organizers, ETTU has published the 2027 Directives for Organizers, 2027 Sport Specific Information, and the 2027 Application Form, providing detailed information on organizational requirements, competition format and the application procedure. Please find here the relevant documents. The deadline for submitting applications is Monday, 24 August 2026. The preferred dates for the 2027 Europe Youth Series events have already been included in the ETTU Calendar. However, as the ITTF has not yet published the 2027 Youth Calendar, each applicant is requested to propose two additional alternative date options when submitting its bid. Following the selection of the successful hosts, ETTU will work closely with the respective Member Associations to finalize the event dates, taking into account the overall ETTU competition calendar. Once available, the final ITTF/WTT Youth Calendar will also be considered to ensure the best possible coordination of the international youth competition schedule. Member Associations requiring further information are invited to contact the ETTU Competition Department. Application deadline: 24 August 2026.
