European Table Tennis

The European TT Union (ETTU) is the only authority recognised by the International Table Tennis Federation for governing and developing table tennis in Europe.

With more than 4 million people playing competitive table tennis in the territory controlled by the ETTU, and with 57 Member Associations, the ETTU is the largest of the 6 Continental Table Tennis Federations recognised by the ITTF.

If you're looking for European table tennis clubs, I have some great resources for you.

Firstly, I have a list of table tennis clubs in Europe which have been submitted by visitors to my web site.

You can view the list right here.

And if you belong to a table tennis club in Europe yourself, why not add YOUR CLUB to the list ... it's really easy to do.
