Why Sponsor?
Why sponsor Singapore Table Tennis Association?
Table Tennis provides a fantastic vehicle for sponsors to reach wide and diverse audiences.
For brands looking to promote themselves to the masses, there’s nothing quite like Singapore Table Tennis.
Sports sponsorship can raise the profile and visibility of the brand by associating with the success and achievement of the Singapore Table Tennis and its events. There is a lot of commercial and social value as well as demonstrating corporate values and social responsibilities when a brand supports Singapore Table Tennis.
Our women’s team are ranked Top 10 in the world and have won 1 silver and 2 bronze medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2012 London Olympics respectively.
Our athletes participate in many of the international tournaments and our sport will be able to bring your brand to international audiences. We strongly believe that Table tennis is a fantastic vehicle for our sponsors to reach out to a diverse audience. The World Table Tennis (WTT) Tournaments alone guarantee excellent sponsors’ exposure as these matches are broadcasted internationally as well as highlight matches are being broadcast on Mediacorp.
The sponsorship dollars will support our sports excellence plans, athlete development pathway plans, STTA’s High Performance Sports System, develop the sport of table tennis and the operational cost.

National Table Tennis Grand Finale (Local Tournament)
The National Table Tennis Grand Finale was first organized in the 1930s and it probably has the biggest following because it is soaked in history and tradition. There are a total of seven events, which include men’s team, women’s team, men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s double and mixed doubles.
Every year, the local table tennis fraternity looks forward to the National Table Tennis Grand Finale as it is the only local tournament that the national paddlers participate in. It will be a rare treat for table tennis fans in Singapore to watch our Sports Stars play live at the Lee Kong Chian Toa Payoh Table Tennis Training Hall (located at Singapore Table Tennis Association).
