ITTF President Petra Sorin said: “I am very happy that the 2022 Team World Table Tennis Championships will be held in Chengdu in April. In this special period of uncertainty, I would like to thank the organizers for taking all safety measures. To ensure that this important event can be carried out smoothly. In 2021, we have held a series of competitions and successfully brought the international table tennis event back on track. This year, the world table tennis family is looking forward to more and more exciting events.”

Liu Guoliang, Executive Vice Chairman of the ITTF and Chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, said: “The World Table Tennis Championships is the most important event of the ITTF every year and one of the events that attracts the attention of fans around the world. Chengdu has rich experience in organizing table tennis events. The ITTF Men’s and Women’s World Cup and Open Championships have been successfully held many times before, and this time the World Table Tennis Championships is located in Chengdu, and I believe that it will once again set off a wave of world table tennis in Chengdu.”
