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 2025 World Table Tennis Championship is being held in Doha, Qatar at the Lusail Multipurpose Hall, from Saturday 17 May to Sunday 25 May 2025.
