All eyes will be on the city of Chengdu from 30 September – in exactly one month – when the 2022 ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals commence. The world’s strongest teams will face off until 9 October to win one of the sport’s most coveted titles.

 On this occasion the slogan “Celebrate Table Tennis with Chengdu” was revealed. It emphasises the city’s love for this sport and the willingness of the ITTF to engage with its host during this unprecedented event.

ITTF President Petra Sorling commented:”The world’s best players will arrive in Chengdu in just a month. What a journey it has been! China will have hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Games Beijing 2022 and the World Table Tennis Championships this year. This makes the ITTF and the entire table tennis family incredibly proud.These World Team Championships are even more significant than ever. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic it has been four years since they were last held. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the staff in Chengdu in the CTTA and in the ITTF for their dedication to overcoming challenges and hard work. I also would like to thank the players and our Member Associations for their support during this journey. Let us continue our efforts until the champions are crowned.”

Also unveiled to celebrate the ‘one month to go’ milestone the design of the medals integrates the shape of a panda the city’s icon with the traditional jade pendant coupled with the silhouette of a table tennis racket. Altogether it is a collective symbol of prosperity and auspiciousness.

The ITTF the Chinese Table Tennis Association (CTTA) the Local Organising Committee (LOC) and the City of Chengdu authorities will continue to collaborate to deliver an event where players compete in the best and safest conditions. A “closed-loop” management system inspired by the one successfully experimented during the Beijing Games will be implemented and will welcome more than 1 000 participants. Special flights have been chartered and participants will be able to enter and leave Chengdu with no quarantine.
