International Table Tennis Tournament in Tunisia: A Great Opportunity for Junior Players
The presence of 145 table tennis players from 20 countries is a great opportunity for our junior players to gain experience. La Presse — The Tunisian Table Tennis Federation has adopted a good strategy by hosting international tournaments for seniors and young categories. In this perspective, the Radès multisports hall will host the International Junior Tournament starting today and lasting for four days, with the participation of 145 players representing 20 nations.
A Great Opportunity for Tunisian Junior Players
This is a great opportunity for the 51 young Tunisian players (27 boys and 24 girls) who will represent Tunisia in this tournament. Given that the Tunisian Table Tennis Federation has a limited budget, which constrains it to select only the best players to participate in international training camps and tournaments, hosting international events in Tunis allows our players to compete against the world's best at a lower cost.
