Nigeria Table Tennis Federation has announced plans to hold the 2025 U-12 National Hopes Week. The tournament is set to take place from April 2 to 8, 2025, at the Training Hall of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
National Hopes Week aims to discover and nurture young table tennis talents from across the country. This year’s edition promises to be thrilling, with the best U-12 players from various states and regions converging in Lagos for an intensive training camp.
Selected ITTF-certified coaches will guide these young athletes, introducing them to new techniques and tactics in table tennis.
Per NTTF, the event is designed to provide a platform for young players to showcase their skills, gain valuable experience, and develop their game in preparation for continental and World Hopes Week. The federation is committed to nurturing the next generation of table tennis stars and promoting the sport at the grassroots level, with support from the ITTF and ITTF-Africa.
The 2025 U-12 National Hopes Week will feature series of matches and training sessions aimed at enhancing the skills and knowledge of the participating players.
Additionally, the event will offer opportunities for players, coaches, and officials to network and share best practices. The federation is optimistic that platforms like this will help more talented players, both female and male, to become better versions of themselves and eventually make the country proud on the international stage.
