About World Table Tennis Day
World Table Tennis Day (WTTD) has been celebrated annually in April since 2015.
The ITTF Foundation has announced that from 2023, World Table Tennis Day will be celebrated on a new date: 23 April. The new date is significant in the long history of the federation. 23 April is the birthdate of Ivor Montagu, organiser of the first World Table Tennis Championships in 1926, and the founder and first president of the ITTF.
WTTD celebrates the joy of playing table tennis for fun, bringing people together, focusing less on competition and more on participation and enjoyment.
