WTT Champions Macao 2023 presented by Galaxy Entertainment Group, organized by the Sports Bureau of the Macao SAR Government, World Table Tennis (WTT) and Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG), and co-organized by the Macau Table Tennis General Association, will be held at Tap Seac Multisport Pavilion from 17 to 23 April 2023. The world’s elite players will line up to showcase their exceptional techniques to residents and tourists alike as they compete against each other in breath-taking matches.

A press conference was held today (20 March), during which the organizers introduced the details and ticketing information for the event. The press conference was attended by Mr. Pun Weng Kun, President of the Sports Bureau; Mr. Philip Cheng, Director of Galaxy Entertainment Group; and Mr. Harry Lai Meng San, Vice Chairman of the Macau Table Tennis General Association.

Mr. Pun Weng Kun noted in his speech that the three large-scale international table tennis competitions held by WTT in Macao over the past three years were well received and have created a table tennis craze among residents and tourists while also injecting vitality into the local sports industry and all sectors of society. The program for the event this year will be extended to span seven days, giving more spectators an opportunity to watch exciting matches in person, and attracting table tennis fans from around the world to prolong their stay in Macao.

Mr. Philip Cheng expressed that GEG is honored to join the Sports Bureau of the Macao SAR Government and WTT as organizers of WTT Champions Macao 2023, a reform of the WTT tournament which GEG has been a presenting partner of for three consecutive times since its debut in Macao in 2020. GEG hopes that this new mode of collaboration can further promote Macao’s cross-sectoral integration of “tourism + sports,” advance the “1+4” adequate diversification development strategy, and strengthen its positioning as a “World Center of Tourism and Leisure.”
