From Taicang via Bavaria and Hamburg to D\u00fcsseldorf: The 9th China-Germany Friendship Cup is coming to North Rhine-Westphalia!<\/h1>\n

On 26 September 2026<\/strong>, the German-Chinese table tennis community will come together in D\u00fcsseldorf<\/strong> for the 9th Taicang \u201cChina-Germany Friendship Cup\u201d International Table Tennis Tournament<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After six tournaments in Taicang<\/strong>, one tournament in Bavaria<\/strong>, and the successful edition in Hamburg<\/strong>, the Friendship Cup is now opening its next chapter in Germany.<\/p>\n

Spectators can look forward to top-class table tennis featuring top players and promising young talents from Germany and China<\/strong> \u2013 and this year also a strong women\u2019s team<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But the Friendship Cup is about more than points, sets and victories. Since its launch in 2016<\/strong>, the tournament has brought together people from sports, business and society<\/strong>, creating opportunities for exchange between Germany and China \u2013 both on and off the table.<\/p>\n

What began as an amateur friendship tournament organised by the German Centre Shanghai<\/strong> and the city of Taicang<\/strong> has developed into an established platform for sporting competition, cultural exchange and German-Chinese cooperation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Taicang itself is a prime example of these close ties. Located in Jiangsu Province, just outside Shanghai, the city is now home to more than 500 German companies<\/strong> and has been an important hub for German-Chinese economic relations for decades.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s tournament is jointly organised by the Table Tennis Association of North Rhine-Westphalia<\/strong>, Borussia D\u00fcsseldorf<\/strong>, the German Centre Shanghai<\/strong>, and the Taicang Bureau of Culture, Sports, Radio, Television and Tourism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfd3 Sport connects. Competition creates respect. Encounters build trust.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We look forward to a special tournament and another strong serve for German-Chinese friendship in D\u00fcsseldorf.<\/p>\n
