One of table tennis’ fastest-growing competitions, the ITTF Challenge Series – which has already thrown up plenty of drama and had a positive impact on the game so far in 2019 – is set to get even better next year.

The 2020 schedule will see an even split of seven Challenge Plus and seven Challenge events, following this year’s successful implementation of the two-tier system.

The Challenge Plus Series offers players higher world ranking points, increased prize money and, most importantly, greater exposure to elite table tennis competition, enabling them to raise their game and reach the next level in their careers.

Furthermore, the more flexible requirements of the ITTF Challenge Series allow a higher number of cities to get on board and stage an international table tennis event, as is evident from the 2020 Challenge Series schedule below:

Challenge Plus:
12-16 Feb 2020 (Dates to be confirmed), ITTF Challenge Plus Portugal Open, Lisbon
