Ultimate Table Tennis now headed to Goa

Panaji: The seventh season of Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT), India’s premier franchise-based table tennis league, will be played at the Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium, Taleigao, in July.

Organised by 11Sports Pvt. Ltd. under the aegis of the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI), the next season of Ultimate Table Tennis promises another showcase of elite global talent alongside India’s best paddlers.

“Ultimate Table Tennis has steadily become a key pillar in India’s table tennis ecosystem,” said UTT co-promoter Vita Dani. “Over the years, we’ve seen the standard of the sport rise across every level, from grassroots programmes to international competition. The league has created more exposure, stronger competition, and greater belief among Indian players.

“Our focus remains on building a world-class league that inspires young athletes, engages fans, and supports the long-term development of the sport. With the progress Indian table tennis has made recently, we are hopeful that initiatives like UTT can continue to contribute towards the larger vision of bringing India an Olympic medal in table tennis.”

UTT has seen legendary players like Achanta Sharath Kamal continue to lead from the front, while also providing a stage for the next generation of Indian stars, which includes Diya Chitale, Manav Thakkar, and Manush Shah, to grow and compete against some of the world’s best.

UTT has eight franchises with Dempo Goa Challengers among the leading teams.
