The European Table Tennis Union (ETTU) Executive Board has confirmed Saarbrücken as the host city for the next two editions of the HYLO® Champions League Men Final 4, continuing a partnership that has already proven highly successful.
Since the introduction of the Final 4 format in 2024, Saarlandhalle Saarbrücken has quickly become the natural home of this premier club event. From the very first edition, the format brought a fresh energy to the competition, gathering Europe’s top four teams in an exciting, fan-focused setting.
The decision to return to Saarbrücken for the next two seasons reflects the trust in the organisers, who have consistently delivered high-quality events both on and off the table. Strong crowds, excellent conditions, and a welcoming environment for teams and fans alike have all contributed to the event’s growing reputation.
ETTU President Pedro MOURA highlighted the importance of building on this momentum:
“Coming back to Saarbrücken is a guarantee of success. The Champions League is the pinnacle of our club competitions. The city and the club are reliable partners and we are looking forward to the continuing grow of this partnership for the next years.”
Over the past editions, thousands of spectators have filled Saarlandhalle, creating a lively and unique atmosphere supported by both local fans and visitors from across Europe.
“We are very proud that the Champions League Final Four will continue to be held in Saarbrücken in the coming years. We would like to thank everyone involved – especially the ETTU for their great trust. At the same time, being selected again underlines that the event has developed into a true institution in European table tennis, which we are particularly pleased about.
Our sincere thanks also go to the Saarland state government for supporting us in this project year after year.
The 2026 edition will be sold out, and we hope that we will once again be sold out on both days in the following two years, during which we have the privilege of hosting the event,” stated 1. FC Saarbrücken TT Team Manager and Head of Organization Nicolas BARROIS.
With another edition just around the corner this May, and the next two years already secured, Saarbrücken will remain at the center of Europe’s top club competition as the HYLO Champions League Men’s Final 4 continues to develop and attract growing attention.
