There is nothing there at KTTA website. It is a popup message and has been replaced by some other KTTA event

Where is the tournament website ?

I tried wmc2026.com but it is World Music Contest LOL

They need to get a website like WMCTT2026 or something in English.

Where is the registration website ?

This event when held in European cities already had a waiting list by now LOL

Whatever is available, eberything sees to be in Korean
Not good so far.

I am not sure why the ITTF dose not make it for the event owners to have all information in English as well, is addition to the local language

Posted: **May 6th, 2025, 6:00 am**

I received quite a few messages here & also messages on LinkedIn asking about registration page for this tournament & other questions

I have no answer because I am not associated with this event.

Everything seems to be in Korean & unable to translate most pages because they are images not not text on the screen

Just contact ITTF or whatever

Sorry I am unable to help

Posted: **July 3rd, 2025, 11:19 pm**

Still no website for registrations ?

Posted: **September 6th, 2025, 6:27 am**

Thanks for all the annoying DMs & emails asking me about this tournamnet though I have no OFFICAL affiliation.

Anyway it looks like the registration is open now (in English

)

Hospitality page , especially Visa information is missing.
I assume it will be filled up soon

Posted: **November 1st, 2025, 11:44 pm**

Not many entries . Only about 866 as of October 2025

Rome already had 5000 players months before (Ended up with 6000)

Is this because ITTF took over this event from Swaythling Club International

Posted: **February 3rd, 2026, 3:40 am**

Can I still register ?
When is deadline ?

Posted: **February 9th, 2026, 1:43 am**

I heard the hotels were way too expensive
Not sure how true it is

Posted: **February 9th, 2026, 1:48 am**

2200+ entries as of February 2026
Does not look like it will break the Rome 2024 record of 6000+ players

With China & Japan nearby , I thought there would be 10000+ players

Posted: **February 24th, 2026, 6:47 am**

Is this for pro players only ?

It is not a country code
It is an IOC designation code for players from countries banned or not affiliated with IOC
Most notably Russia & Belarus

Videos like this with no player names really sucks
They should at least add the player names in video description so it is searchable
I think there is a way to also add player names inside the video itself to be searchable but I do not think that is being done here either
I doubt if aby of these video producers ever know that

There are 100s and 100s of useless videos table tennis tournament totally unsearchable for player names
