Ping- pong, formally table tennis, has been a popular indoor sport in the world. It currently has over 300 million active members of governing associations worldwide. Table tennis originated in England in the 1800s. The Table Tennis Association was first founded in England in 1921 in order to oversee competitive tournaments. Subsequently, the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) was founded in January 1926, and the first world table tennis championships were held in London in December of that year. After that, the world table tennis championships took place annually until 1957, and then biennially since 1959. The ITTF has governed all the national and regional table tennis associations in the world, to the present.1
