Dear table tennis family,

As we approach the 2025 ITTF Presidential election, I am thrilled to share my manifesto for re-election—a bold vision to Keep Table Tennis Ahead as a global leader in sport. This is not a new agenda but the next chapter in our journey, building on the unstoppable momentum we’ve created together since 2021.

Over the past four years, we’ve united our ITTF family through the ITTF Summits, doubled commercial revenues with World Table Tennis, achieved record governance standards, championed sustainability with the Planet Action Plan 2025 and doubled the number of participants in development activities worldwide. These achievements reflect our shared commitment to “table tennis for all, for life, forever”.

My manifesto outlines the evolution of our proven platform and this next chapter of my presidency and our mutual journey towards the future is built on three key pillars;

1.⁠ Sharing the benefits of our growth with our members and where it matters most

2.⁠ Securing our place as a leading International Federation

3.⁠ Shaping our future with strategic investments in our sport

Digitalization is at the heart of this vision — from digital platforms connecting our 227 member associations to innovative fan experiences that will propel table tennis forward.

I invite you to read the full manifesto to discover how we together can sustain our momentum and Keep Table Tennis Ahead. Your insights and support are vital to shaping our sport’s future.

Your goal my promise,

Petra Sörling
President, ITTF
