ITTF Group Statement on Ukraine (26 February)

Update (28 February 2022): The ITTF Group is aware of the statement made by the IOC on 28 February 2022. The ITTF Executive Committee will review the recommendations and issue a resolution shortly. 

 

The ITTF Group is very concerned about the conflict in Ukraine.

We are monitoring the situation and have tasked the ITTF Foundation with reaching the Ukraine Table Tennis Federation to offer support where possible.

The ITTF Group is aligned with the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee and will follow its recommendations. We ask the Continental Federations and the Member Associations to act accordingly.

Ping Pong Diplomacy has been at the heart of our sport for more than half a century. The ITTF Group strongly believes that constructive dialogue is the solution to any disputes. We hope for a rapid return to peace.
