The World Championships 2023.
The world's best come together in Durban, South Africa from 20-28 May...
By Martin Hughes
Owner and Editor
The World Table Tennis Championships first took place in 1926 in London, England.
However, since 2000, the World Table Tennis Championship has been split into two separate competitions.
Team events are now held in even numbered years, whilst individual events (singles and doubles) are held in odd numbered years.
The 2023 World Table Tennis Championship is being held in Durban, South Africa at the Durban International Convention Centre, 45 Bram Fischer Rd, Durban, 4001, from Saturday 20 May to Sunday 28 May 2023.
This is the first World Table Tennis Championships to be held in Africa for 84 years. The last time was in Cairo, Egypt, in 1939.
