The road to European glory is now clear. The official draw for the Final Stage of the 2025 European Teams Table Tennis Championships was conducted today at the elegant Hotel Hyatt Regency in Zadar, revealing the highly anticipated group stage line-ups that will shape the battle for continental supremacy.
The draw, based on the June 2025 ETTU Men’s and Women’s Team Rankings, determined the composition of eight groups in both the men’s and women’s competitions. Each group consists of three teams, with the top two teams advancing to the knockout stage.
In the Men’s Team Event, defending champions Sweden headline the top seeds, joined by 2023 silver medalists Germany, bronze medalists Portugal and France, as well as Denmark, Romania, Croatia, and Belgium. With powerhouses spread across the groups, several early showdowns are expected to test even the most seasoned squads.
The Women’s Team Event is equally stacked, led by reigning champions Germany, 2023 silver medalists Romania, and bronze medalists France and Portugal. Completing the top-seeded lineup are Sweden, Poland, Croatia, and Ukraine. The competition promises to be fierce as these teams chase a spot in the Round of 16.
The stakes are high. Germany’s women are on the brink of equaling the all-time record of four consecutive European titles, a feat last achieved by the Netherlands from 2008 to 2011. On the men’s side, Sweden will aim to defend their crown and add to their historic legacy, which includes record streaks of six straight titles (1964–1972) and four more from 1984 to 1992.
Tickets are now available here for fans eager to witness the action live in Zadar.
The official event website is also launched.
