Empowering Women in Umpiring: Webinar for Female Match Officials

For the first time in European table tennis, a women-only webinar will be held to celebrate and empower female match officials. The online session, titled “Empowering Women in Umpiring: Breaking Barriers and Finding Balance”, is designed to support and inspire women who are curious about umpiring or already part of the officiating community.

This event is open to all women interested in or currently engaged with umpiring, especially those who may be wondering what it’s like to step into the role, how to advance in the field, and how to manage the balance between travel, career, and personal life.

The webinar will feature real stories from female umpires at different stages of life and career. From those just beginning their international journey, to veterans who have officiated at the Olympic Games, and now mentor the next generation — each speaker brings invaluable insight and experience.

What makes this event truly special is its exclusive, women-only format. This creates a safe and open space for participants to ask questions, even the uncomfortable ones, knowing that they are speaking to others who understand the challenges and experiences unique to women in the field.

  • Balanced Focus: Explore how to thrive as an umpire while balancing family, work, and personal time.
  • Interactive & Real: Engage with relatable stories and get practical advice based on real-life situations.
  • Empowering & Motivating: Be inspired to pursue or continue your path in umpiring, with reassurance that it can coexist with other life responsibilities.

Whether you’re considering becoming a match official or already on that path, this webinar is an opportunity to connect, learn, and grow — together with other women who share your passion.
