Loutraki Greece the Next Stop of the Europe Youth Series

Greece specifically Loutraki in Korinthia continues to be a part of the Europe Youth Series 2023 organized by the European Table Tennis Union. This charming tourist town hosts the fourth Open of the year following those in Croatia Serbia and the Czechia with the hope of making its own mark. The tournament is scheduled from Wednesday October 25 to Saturday October 28 at the Sport Camp sports facility. It’s open to young athletes from across Europe aged up to 13 and up to 15 and features team (mixed teams) singles and doubles events.

This is a special moment for the Greek federation as they are organizing junior competitions on a pan-European scale for the first time in decades. There are 37 final entries from three countries. In any case it’s a challenge for the HTTF (Hellenic Table Tennis Federation) to ensure a successful organization in this new endeavor.

Apart from Greece Georgia and Denmark will also have athletes competing in Loutraki. The first two days will be dedicated to the team event with the following two days dedicated to singles and doubles. The games kick off tomorrow Wednesday at 09:00 with the start of the Under 13 team event followed by the Under 15 team event at 11:30. The first-placed teams will be determined on Thursday afternoon at 16:30.
