"WTT Finals is the ultimate decider - the match point of the season. It's where our biggest stars face off in their final battles of the year," Dainton said. "Hong Kong has the atmosphere, the infrastructure and the passion to deliver world-class sporting experiences. We're excited to bring WTT Finals here - and we see great potential for Hong Kong to be a strategic host for WTT's most iconic events moving forward."

According to the WTT, the confirmation comes as part of its broader vision to create long-term destinations for its flagship events, while unlocking greater value for fans, players, partners and host cities.

Tony Yue, chairman of the Hong Kong, China Table Tennis Association (HKTTA), shared his enthusiasm about the long-term partnership.

"This is a major step for our community and for the sport in our region. Hosting WTT Finals will not only bring top-level action to our fans, but also inspire a new generation of players and supporters," said Yue.

At last year's event in Fukuoka, Japan, Chinese paddlers Wang Chuqin and Wang Manyu emerged as the respective men's and women's singles champions, while French duo of Alexis and Felix Lebrun and Japanese pair of Hitomi Sato and Honoka Hashimoto captured the men's and women's doubles titles, respectively.
