What is a WTTD Promoter?
The responsibility of WTTD Promoters exists beyond wearing a name badge with a symbolic title. Becoming a promoter means becoming an active leader in supporting physical activity, enhancing mental health, and strengthening social bonds. Promoters are flagbearers for WTTD and use their voice and community position to capture the transformative power of table tennis.
Since 2021,157 Promoters have stepped up across 5 continents and 55 countries & territories to impact the lives of more than 30,000 people.
Each 23 April, the Foundation welcomes the world to unite and celebrate the cross-cultural impact of table tennis. Whether you are a coach, athlete, volunteer, or just someone who believes in the power of sports to bring people together — this is for you! In 2026, we are particularly looking for those who want to use Table Tennis to achieve Health and Wellbeing goals. We are searching for passionate people ready to make a difference.
If you are:
- Eager to organise fun and meaningful activities around table tennis in your community AND
- Ready to network globally and connect with like-minded changemakers
Then APPLY NOW to become one of the World Table Tennis Day 2026 Promoters! Applications are open from 23 October to 23 November 2025!
With Health & Well-being as the theme for WTTD 2026, alongside other community projects, we are particularly keen to see health spaces — such as care homes, hospitals, youth centres, and rehabilitation centres — hosting and showcasing table tennis’ role in supporting health, well-being, and recovery.
