ETTU launched the Europe Youth Series in 2023, a competition for Under 15 and Under 13 players. The series was built on the success of the Europe Under 13 Challenge at Podgorica in Montenegro in 2022.
In this series, ETTU is also promoting gender equality, as the mixed teams event is part of the tournament.
In 2026 the events will be held in: Osijek (Croatia), Sarajevo (Bosnia Herzegovina), Stockerau (Austria), Riga (Latvia), Beočin (Seribia) and Plzen (Czechia).
The European Table Tennis Union (ETTU) is the governing body of the sport of table tennis in Europe, and is the only authority recognized for this purpose by the International Table Tennis Federation. The ETTU deals with all matters relating to table tennis at a European level, including the development and promotion of the sport in the territories controlled by its 58 member associations, and the organization of continental table tennis competitions, including the European Championships.
