The European Table Tennis Union (ETTU) has unveiled a new wave of development support for its Member Associations in 2025, as part of a broader collaboration with the ITTF Participation Program.

Member Associations interested in participating are invited to submit their expressions of interest via email to projects@ettu.org by Monday, 18 August 2025. Following the deadline, selected applicants will be notified about the specific form of support they will receive.

This initiative is part of a three-year development strategy (2025–2027), through which 18 Member Associations will benefit annually from one of three tailored development opportunities:

1. Member Association Activities

On-site, co-funded activities such as coach education courses, regional training camps, or other hands-on projects aimed at developing players and coaches. These are delivered with the support of independent or ETTU/ITTF experts.

2. National Projects/NAAP

Member Association-led national projects such as youth or women’s development programs, school-based initiatives, or national team training, are designed and managed locally with financial support from ETTU.

3. ITTF Online Services

Up to 10 hours of tailored online support from ITTF experts. Topics can include governance, strategic planning, talent identification, event management, or coach development. These remote sessions are especially beneficial for smaller associations and are adapted to the local context.

All Member Associations are welcome to apply and are eligible to be part of the program. However, priority will be given to associations in Categories 3 and 4 that are not receiving NAAP support in 2025. ETTU will assess each application and assign the type of support to ensure a balanced distribution.

This project is delivered in collaboration with the ITTF Participation Program, which helps expand services and reduce the administrative burden for associations.

More information about the ITTF Participation Program and online services is available here.

We look forward to receiving your expressions of interest.
