The ITTF-African Cup kicks off on 25 February at the Palais des Sports dEl Menzah in Tunis, Tunisia. This 3-day event, running from 25-27 February 2025, serves as the final crucial stepping stone for African players to qualify for the mega event. The tournament offers an opportunity for top African paddlers to showcase their skills, fight for bragging rights, and compete for a $25,000 prize pool.

With 29 men and 21 women competing, four qualification spots are up for grabs in both Mens and Womens singles events.

World No.18 and multiple-time African Cup winner, Egyptian Omar Assar leads the pack in the Mens singles as the top seed, followed closely by defending champion and Nigerian legend Aruna Quadri. The field also comprises young stars like Matthew Kuti (Nigeria) and home favorite Wassim Essid.

Egypt dominates the womens singles seedings with young superstar Hana Goda leading the charge with a world ranking of 27. She is followed closely by experienced compatriot and defending champion Dina Meshref, a 6-time winner of the event. World No. 64 Mariam Alhodaby, last years runner-up, is also in the fray.

The tournament will begin with a round-robin format, with players split into groups. The top 2 players from each group will qualify for the knockout stages, with all 4 semifinalists in both Mens and Womens singles earning a spot to compete at the ITTF World Cup Macao 2025.

The ITTF African Cup 2025 represents the final chapter in the continental qualification journey. With established champions defending their titles and emerging talents eager to make their mark, the competition promises to be fierce. As the last continental tournament in the Road to Macao, Africas table tennis stars will be looking to write an exciting new chapter in the sports history.
