The picturesque Swiss town of Montreux will become the epicentre of European table tennis for the seventh consecutive time from 20-23 February, as the CCB Europe Top 16 Cup promises an electrifying tournament where semifinalists will secure ITTF Singles World Cup Macao 2025 spots.
Representing the incredible depth and diversity of European table tennis, the tournament will showcase players from across the continent – from the traditional powerhouses of Sweden, Germany, and France to emerging talents from all corners of the region. With no limit on players per country, the field promises an unprecedented level of competition, making the title truly up for grabs. Player list can be found here.
Defending champions Darko Jorgić and Jia Nan Yuan return with remarkable stories to continue. Jorgić, who achieved a historic hat-trick in 2024, and Yuan, the first French woman to claim the title, will headline a tournament featuring some of Europe’s most dynamic and skilled players.
The 2025 edition introduces an innovative format that amplifies the competitive drama. Qualification rounds will feature players ranked 15-21, with a special spot reserved for a Swiss player. The tournament will unfold over four days, with matches progressing from qualification rounds to the ultimate showdown of semi-finals and finals.
A significant change this year removes the previous two-player-per-nation limitation, ensuring that Europe’s absolute best players will compete. All matches will be played in a best-of-5 format, adding to the tournament’s intensity and unpredictability.
The Salle Omnisport du Pierrier has been meticulously prepared, featuring a newly homologated floor colour exclusive to this event. Enhanced spectator experiences include an additional grandstand, private company boxes, and VIP seating directly alongside the playing field.
Semifinalists will secure direct qualification spots for the ITTF Singles World Cup in Macao, raising the stakes of every single point and rally.
