The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) and World Table Tennis (WTT) are pleased to announce ACN Group as the Presenting Partner of the ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals London 2026, taking place from 28 April to 10 May at the OVO Arena Wembley and Copper Box Arena.
ACN Group’s partnership in table tennis comes at a landmark moment for the sport. In 1926, London hosted the very first World Championships and saw the founding of the ITTF. One hundred years on, the World Team Championships Finals returns, completing a century-long journey of the sport’s growth.
ACN Group, Japan’s leading holistic business solutions consulting company, joins as Presenting Partner not only at the close of one chapter, but at the dawn of the next, as the Japanese Team comes to London riding a wave of momentum, with a generation of players making their mark on the global stage. Miwa Harimoto recently made history as the youngest player ever to claim a WTT Champions crown, while the likes of Tomokazu Harimoto, Hina Hayata, Yukiya Uda and more continue to turn heads on the international circuit. ACN Group’s partnership places a Japanese brand at the heart of the action as the nation’s stars vie for glory on the sport’s biggest stage.
Petra Sörling, ITTF President, stated: “We are proud to have ACN Group as Presenting Partner for what will be a truly historic occasion. London 2026 sees the World Championships return to the city where it all began in 1926, and having new partners join us on that journey is a testament to the enduring growth of table tennis. We warmly welcome ACN Group to this centenary celebration.”
The Japanese Team will be just one of the compelling stories as the world’s best nations descend on London to compete for the Swaythling Cup (men) and Corbillon Cup (women). London 2026 promises to be another historic occasion, a celebration of 100 years of table tennis in the city where it all began, and bringing the sport’s most prestigious team event back to one of its most symbolic stages.
WTT Chief Executive Officer Steve Dainton said: “ACN Group’s commitment as Presenting Partner of the ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals London 2026 is a strong endorsement of the scale, stature and significance of this event. The World Team Championships has always held a special place in our sport, bringing together the intensity, unity and pride that only team competition can create. To have ACN Group alongside us as we celebrate the ITTF’s 100th year in London makes this partnership especially meaningful.”
