ITTF World Championships Astana 2027
The 2027 World Table Tennis Championships Finals are in Astana, Kazakhstan’s capital, from 22 to 30 May, the first time the event has been held in Central Asia. This is an individual edition: five titles in men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles and mixed doubles, and a key ranking event for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Local reports name Barys Arena, with about 8,000 seats, as the main venue, with some matches at the Qazaqstan Athletics Sports Complex (about 6,800). There is no ticket information yet.
The return of serve often decides who attacks first. Watch how players keep the ball short, then suddenly go long, and whether the opponent’s footwork is pulled out of position.
It explains how a point is won better than counting the rally.
Men’s, women’s and mixed doubles all require partners to hit in turn. Widen your view to see how one player clears out after the shot and the other steps in.
Balls down the middle test the partnership most.
In the 2025 vote Kazakhstan beat France with 54.68% to win the hosting rights.
According to local reports, two home players ranked in the world’s top 30, Kirill Gerassimenko and Alan Kurmangaliyev, will compete in front of their own crowd.
