Europe’s Biggest Stars to Shine in Montreux
From February 20–23, 2025, the CCB Europe Top 16 Cup Montreux will take place for the 7th time in Montreux. Exciting new developments await! Ticket sales stared today.
The CCB Europe Top 16 Cup Montreux 2025 comes with many innovations. Since the European Championships in Linz, it has been confirmed that there will be a new competition format. At the ETTU Annual General Meeting, the delegates of the 54 member associations unanimously approved the Executive Board’s proposed changes. The new format is as follows:
- The tournament will take place over 4 days on a single table.
- On Thursday, players ranked 15–21 in the ETTU rankings as of January, plus one Swiss player, will play two rounds in a knockout system. The two winners of the second round will qualify for the Top 16.
- On Friday, the Round of 16 matches will be played for both men and women.
- On Saturday, the quarterfinals of both categories will take place.
- On Sunday, the semifinals and finals will be held.
There is no longer a limit of only two players per nation, ensuring that Europe’s absolute best players will compete.
All matches will follow the “Best of 5” format.
In addition to the changes to the match format, the venue will feature a completely new layout. The organizing committee has worked to homologate a new floor color specifically for the Top 16, which will be used exclusively in Montreux!
New features include:
An additional grandstand with private boxes for companies and two rows of seating directly along the playing field, where VIP tickets will also be available.
A significantly larger catering tent offering a wide variety of snacks and meals.
The demand for tickets has been overwhelming in recent weeks, especially from France following Felix LEBRUN’s victory at the WTT Champions in Montpellier. On Wednesday, November 20, ticket sales will open on the website www.top16montreux.com, and it is recommended to secure your favorite seats quickly.
On Thursday and Friday, all licensed players from Swiss Table Tennis (STT) up to and including U-19 have free entry—a unique opportunity to draw inspiration and motivation from European stars and Paris Olympic medalists. Ticket registration for these players is managed through STT via the following link: Tickets for STT-Licensed U11-U19.
