NEW DELHI, March 13: Goa will host the seventh season of franchise-based Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT) event in July at the Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium, the organisers said on Friday.
Organised by 11Sports Pvt. Ltd. under the aegis of the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI), UTT has grown into one of the country’s most prominent sporting properties since its launch in 2017, the organisers said in a statement.
Speaking about the upcoming season, UTT co-promoter Vita Dani said, “Ultimate Table Tennis has steadily become a key pillar in India’s table tennis ecosystem. Over the years, we’ve seen the standard of the sport rise across every level, from grassroots programmes to international competition.

“The league has created more exposure, stronger competition, and greater belief among Indian players. Our focus remains on building a world-class league that inspires young athletes, engages fans, and supports the long-term development of the sport.”
Since its inception, UTT has hosted six seasons. The competition has seen legendary players like Achanta Sharath Kamal continue to lead from the front, while also providing a stage for the next generation of Indian stars — including Diya Chitale, Manav Thakkar, and Manush Shah — to grow and compete against some of the world’s best.
UTT has coincided with a period of progress for Indian table tennis. At the most recent Olympic Games, both the Indian men’s and women’s teams qualified for the first time, while Indian paddlers have since continued to make their mark across international events on the global circuit. Details regarding the player auction and the full roster of participants for Season 7 will be announced in the coming weeks. (PTI)
