ETTU Executive Board Meets During European Youth Championships in Ostrava

On the occasion of the 2025 European Youth Championships, the ETTU Executive Board convened for a meeting in Ostrava.

The meeting was hosted by the Czech Table Tennis Association and welcomed by Mr. Nikolas ENDAL, President of the CTTA and Director of the Local Organising Committee for the 2025 European Youth Championships.

During the session, the Executive Board addressed a wide range of strategic and operational topics. The Board approved all propositions and the draft budget for 2026, which will be submitted to the ETTU Congress later this year.

“We had another long and fruitful EB meeting. While some important decisions were taken, EB also took the opportunity to brainstorm about some very important topics, like the qualification for LA 2028 or even the future of the European Youth Championships,” stated ETTU President Pedro MOURA.

Among other decisions, the Executive Board confirmed the recipients of the ETTU Badge of Honour, recognising individuals for their exceptional contributions to the sport of table tennis in Europe.

The ETTU EB discussed the future of European Youth Championships and agreed to open a survey to member Associations.

Updates were provided on the preparation and organisation of upcoming events, staffing and administrative matters, as well as on contractual obligations and the structure of the European Club Competitions.

Further discussions included a cooperation request, a initial brainstorming on the qualification system for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, and the status of qualification for the Youth Olympic Games.

The Board also approved a set of sustainability guidelines that will be implemented across future ETTU events, underlining the Union’s commitment to environmental and social responsibility in sport.

Finally, the upcoming Executive Board meetings were agreed and confirmed.

ETTU remains committed to excellence, and unity in European table tennis, and thanks the Czech TTA for their hospitality and successful organisation of the European Youth Championships.
