ITTF Men’s and Women’s World Cup Macao 2026 Opens Tomorrow
MACAO: The ITTF Men’s & Women’s World Cup Macao 2026 Presented by Galaxy Entertainment Group gets underway tomorrow as 48 men’s and 48 women’s singles players begin their pursuit of the historic Evans and Hammarlund Cups.
In the ITTF’s centenary year, 100 years since the federation was founded in 1926, the stakes have never felt higher.
The groups were drawn today and the narratives are already set. In the men’s competition, world number one Wang Chuqin enters as one of the tournament favourites, but reigning champion Hugo Calderano will have something to say about that.
The Brazilian who made history last year as the first player from the Americas to win the ITTF Men’s World Cup, comes into the tournament hungry to do it again. With Tomokazu Harimoto, Truls Moregard, Felix Lebrun and a cast of in-form challengers also in the mix, the race for the Evans Cup is as open as it has ever been.
