The President of the African Table Tennis Federation (ITTF-Africa), Wahid Enitan Oshodi, has praised host Tunisia and the ITTF-Africa’s Media team for their stellar work in driving the ITTF-Africa Cup 2025 to unprecedented online viewing success. Held from February 25-27 in Tunis, the event scored a major win in viewership and followership, cementing African table tennis as a rising force in the global sports landscape.

The ITTF-Africa Media team released a robust media analytics report showcasing the event’s massive media presence. The event recorded 973,700 views on Facebook and an impressive 1,523,677 views on Instagram—double the exposure of the previous edition in Rwanda. 

Meanwhile, YouTube livestreaming drew over 94,000 live views, with an additional 32,000 returning viewers for highlights, fueled by the world-class broadcast efforts of the Tunisian Table Tennis Federation and the ITTF-Africa Media team. This seamless production captivated both established fans and new audiences throughout the tournament.

President Oshodi commended the ITTF-Africa Media team, noting that, "These numbers prove African table tennis is steadily claiming its place in the world of sport. I have always said that there’s great potential in Africa. With these results, we must now continue to attain world-class standards in all our events as we have just achieved in Tunisia.

Tunisia was a great host, and the standard they achieved during the Africa Cup is worthy of praise. I want to congratulate the Tunisia Table Tennis Federation for this huge success.

What we have to look at now is the young talents coming through because they have so much potential that will attract even greater viewership globally and consequently bring in more sponsors and partners to help fund our youth programmes towards elevating the game on the continent”, he concluded.
