World Table Tennis Day, the annual celebration of the sport taking place every 6th April, as organised by the ITTF Foundation and supported by the ITTF, traditionally sees a full programme of social gatherings, casual table tennis activities and charity events taking place across the globe.

While the COVID-19 pandemic prevented physical activities from happening this year, it provided an opportunity to celebrate like never before. Physically distanced, but socially united, fans were fully engaged across the digital and social media channels of the ITTF and ITTF Foundation for 2020 World Table Tennis At Home Day!

24 HOURS OF NON-STOP TABLE TENNIS!

Fans have had their eyes glued to the ITTF’s digital channels on 6th April 2020, with 24 hours of wall-to-wall table tennis playing since 00:00 GMT+8 on the ITTF’s Facebook, YouTube and Weibo channels, as well as on Zhibo.TV, the ITTF's streaming partner in China.
 
That’s 24 hours of original, never seen before, archive footage, all in HD, taking you on a trip down memory lane to revisit a bucket list of classic, unforgettable matches from the past and many of the greatest legends to ever play the sport!

In between matches, special features were aired, ranging from sustainability projects run by the ITTF Foundation, the story of Ping Pong Diplomacy: United Korea, the Hugo Calderano feature film and more.
