The Future Events Working Group discussing the future of the World Championships and overall events structure presented their findings so far to the Board of Directors. The Working Group will continue at full speed to prepare some proposals for 2018 for the Board of Directors to decide.

 

The ITTF Ethics Commission was fully established and approved and the ITTF Code of Ethics will come into effect on 1 July 2017.

 

Future editions of the ITTF World Junior Championships were awarded: 2018 – Bendigo Australia 2019 – Nakorn Ratchasima Thailand after both countries put forward very impressive bids. The successful Bendigo bid was driven by ITTF-Oceania empowered by the new Strategic Investment agreement with the ITTF.

 

The next three editions of the ITTF World Cadet Challenge were allocated to: 2018 – Tottori Japan 2019 – Cetniewo Poland and 2020 – Bangkok Thailand.

 

Commenting on the first Board of Directors meeting after being elected the ITTF President Thomas WEIKERT stated: “After a hard-fought election campaign I was very happy to see the ITTF Board of Directors very united and motivated to work with me and the newly elected Executive Committee to achieve ITTF’s goals and drive the sport forward.”
