The two events are being held as part of the #RESTART series which marks the long-awaited return of international table tennis after several months of suspended activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ITTF World Cups traditionally sit amongst the most prestigious annual international table tennis events featuring many of the sport’s best players from all parts of the world and counting towards the Grand Slam (Olympic Games World Championships World Cups).

We are very proud to work hand in hand with the ITTF to contribute to the development of table tennis. I sincerely wish this event a complete success and hope that the hosting of the World Cups will give courage to everyone around the world to combat against the pandemic and increase confidence in restoring economic growth and encourage them to pursue a better life ”  said Zhu Lihua Chairman of Dishang Group Co.
