During the ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals, ETTU President Pedro MOURA met with KTTA President Taesung LEE to discuss the growing cooperation between the European Table Tennis Union and the Korean Table Tennis Association, with a particular focus on the ongoing “Eurospins” project and future joint initiatives.
The meeting highlighted the positive relationship already established between the two organisations through the Eurospins training camps, which bring together some of Europe’s and Korea’s most promising young players in a unique high-performance and cultural exchange environment.
Speaking about the meeting in London, Pedro MOURA underlined the importance of strengthening the collaboration between the two associations.
“We discussed the cooperation between the European Table Tennis Union and the Korean Table Tennis Association, as well as ways to further improve and develop it in the future. The Eurospins project has already created a very positive connection between our young players, coaches and federations, and we believe this cooperation can continue to grow through future projects and training camps together,” said Pedro MOURA.
The first edition of the project was staged on the Korean island of Jeju in December 2025, where eight selected European players trained alongside their Korean counterparts during an intensive programme featuring daily practice sessions, friendly matches and cultural activities. The initiative continued this year in Havířov, Czechia, where young European and Korean players once again had the opportunity to share experiences and develop together.
ETTU and the Korean Table Tennis Association are expected to continue their cooperation later this year, with another joint training camp planned in Korea in September 2026 as part of the ongoing development of the project.
