This partnership is consistent with our goal of promoting a diverse sporting programme ” said Mark Lu Director of Communications at Wellbet.

“Table tennis is a global sport. It has intrinsic ties with the Asia-Pacific region where it boasts a phenomenally strong and ever-growing fanbase. We are delighted to announce this partnership with Wellbet to promote its brand around the world and to develop joint social media campaigns to engage with our followers “ stated Kimberly Koh Head of Sponsorship at ITTF.

This is the top tier of six events offering higher prize money and world ranking points than the six Regular events on the ITTF World Tour thus attracting the sport’s biggest star players leading to greater media output and promotional activities.
