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.

How this site is financed
AllAboutTableTennis.com (AATT) is completely free to use.
However, it's run by one person only (Martin Hughes) and has high running costs that need to be paid for.
This web site receives thousands of visitors every day and therefore, to keep it completely free to use, advertising and affiliate links appear on this web site.
However, these adverts and affiliate links do not influence the advice and recommendations given on this web site.
My intention has always been to give you the best possible information, advice and recommendations, based on my 50+ years involvement in the sport.

Affiliate links*
Affiliate links are links to other web sites who sell related table tennis products.
These work in the same way as normal links, but when you click on it, the link is tracked to AATT and, if you make a purchase, may generate a small payment to me.
They do not cost you anything to use, and any products you choose to buy will not cost you any more than if you went directly to that web site.
