This recognition fills us with immense joy and an even greater sense of responsibility to deliver an event that reflects the prestige and excellence of European table tennis.

Our bid was driven by a deep commitment to promote table tennis as a unifying sport that fosters healthy competition, mutual respect, and shared values among nations. Hosting this championships in Porto represents a unique opportunity to showcase our strengths: world-class infrastructure at the Super Bock Arena, a strategic location with seamless accessibility, and a rich cultural and sporting heritage.

This is a historical moment for both ETTU and the Latvian Table Tennis Association, as this will be the first European title event to be played in the country. The ETTU Executive Board fully trust to have one of the best European Veterans Championships ever in 2027,” said ETTU President Pedro MOURA.
