“Together, we will transform the African Table Tennis Federation into a dynamic, globally recognised brand, attracting increased investment and generating sustainable revenue streams, while positioning table tennis as a leading sport across the continent,” Afadzinu stated following his election.

He emphasised that sport, as a catalyst for global development, will drive positive change within the 54-member federation, enhancing the vibrancy of table tennis in Africa.

“By showcasing the ATTF as a beacon of youth empowerment, community development, and social change, we will use our beloved sport to unlock opportunities for growth, partnerships and development across Africa,” he added.
