The ITTF-Oceania Cup 2025 is set to transform Melbourne’s LOOPS Table Tennis venue into a critical battleground for table tennis players on 15-16 February. This two-day tournament represents a pivotal qualification event that will determine Oceania’s representatives for the prestigious ITTF Singles World Cup, to be held from 14-21 April 2025.
The tournament will feature the Men’s Singles and Women’s Singles events. For the Main Singles Events, the qualification system is designed to test the players’ skill and consistency. The tournament begins with two round-robin groups of four players. This initial stage will be crucial, as only three players from each group will advance to the knockout stage.
Group winners will earn a significant advantage, receiving a direct bye to the semifinals. Meanwhile, the second and third-place finishers will battle it out in quarterfinal matches, adding an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability. The semifinals and subsequent medal matches will not only crown continental champions but also determine ITTF Singles World Cup qualification. To add to the drama, all matches will be played in a best-of-seven format.
Players from Australia, Fiji, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, and Vanuatu will compete, representing the diverse table tennis talent of the Oceania region. Defending champions Finn Luu (Men’s Singles) and Yangzi Liu (Women’s Singles) will be among the top contenders fighting for ITTF Singles World Cup qualification.
Admission is free, and fans can catch all the action live on the ITTF-Oceania YouTube channel. With ITTF Singles World Cup spots on the line, every match promises intense competition and high-stakes drama.
