Unique table tennis show: 15 teams fight for glory in the Donaupark!

On June 19, 2025, an exciting event of the Vienna Table Tennis District League took place in Donaupark Vienna. This year, 15 table tennis doubles teams from 8 districts of Vienna took part and set a new record. The event was organized by Tischtennis Hobby Wien, who not only ensured that things ran smoothly, but also wanted to promote exchange and encounters among the players.

The league, which was launched in January 2025, shows how lively the sport of table tennis is in Vienna. The teams fought in different groups for the day's victory and ultimately the team favorites prevailed. The performance of the Donaustadt team, which achieved the highest number of points in the overall ranking, was particularly impressive.

Versatile group division

The participants were divided into three groups:

• Gruppe A: Team Floridsdorf, Team Donaustadt, Team Favoriten, Team Leopoldstadt, Team Ottakring
• Gruppe B: Team Meidling, Team Floridsdorf, Team Donaustadt, Team Leopoldstadt, Team Favoriten
• Gruppe C: Team Liesing, Team Simmering, Team Floridsdorf, Team Donaustadt, Team Leopoldstadt

The game mode was designed for two winning sets, which made for many exciting and close matches. Interest in continuing the tournament is high, reflecting the great enthusiasm for table tennis in the city.

The history of table tennis in Vienna

Table tennis has a long tradition in Vienna, dating back to 1901, when the first shots were played in the Hietzinger Sports Club. Table Tennis Vienna provides an overview of the development of the sport in the city, which was thwarted several times by world wars and other challenges. The first Viennese ping-pong game association was founded in 1923, and enthusiasm for the sport has continued to develop ever since.

The Robert Hanak Table Tennis Championship (RHTT), which was launched in 2011, now includes 23 clubs and is the third largest table tennis association in Vienna. The VÖB, as the second largest association, also offers a wide range of opportunities for table tennis enthusiasts with its seven leagues.

The conditions for participation are open to everyone who would like to take part in these teams: all you have to do is find two people for a double team. The clubs themselves are also active and present themselves on social media in order to get even more players excited about the sport. If you would like to find out more about the various clubs and their offers, you will find a wealth of information on the respective websites.
