8th Taicang “China-Germany Friendship Cup” International Table Tennis Tournament

Following last year’s successful tournament in Hamburg, the German Centre Shanghai and the Taicang Government are pleased to announce the 8th Taicang “China-Germany Friendship Cup” International Table Tennis Tournament, taking place on October 18, 2025, in Taicang.

Originally launched as an amateur friendship cup to bridge sports and the Sino-German business community, the tournament has grown into a well-known event among Chinese and German table tennis players and business representatives. In 2019, even German National Coach and World Champion Jörg Roßkopf joined the competition as a player.

Established in 2016, the tournament is held annually, alternating between Taicang and Germany. Representatives from business, government, and diplomacy attend the event, which continues to receive coverage from media in both countries—on television, social media, and in print.
