Vung Tau city plays host to national clubs table tennis championships

VOV.VN - The 2020 national clubs table tennis championships officially kicked off in Vung Tau city in the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau on November 17, drawing the participation of approximately 300 players from 24 teams nationwide.

Competitors will be competing for seven sets of medals on offer throughout the tournament’s various events, including men’s and women’s singles, doubles and team events, and a mixed doubles category.

Vu Nguyen Thai, vice president of the Vietnam Table Tennis Federation, said the occasion marks one of eight national tournaments that is part of the official competition system being ran by the federation.

The tournament sees the participation of a number of strong clubs from across the country, including those from Hai Duong city, Ho Chi Minh City, Khanh Hoa province, and Ba Ria-Vung Tau province. It is therefore hoped that the event will create a good environment for players to gain experience from each other, Thai noted.

Thai anticipates that the organisers will help to seek talent for the national team whilst preparing participants to potentially compete in future international tournaments.

The tournament is scheduled to last until November 22.
