UTTA president Muwanga appointed on global Table Tennis Advisory board

Prince Abdulrahman’s appointment reflects Saudi Arabia’s growing commitment to the global development of table tennis.
Muwanga joins the Prince on the board, representing the Member Association that initiated the proposition.
“This is humbling to be appointed on the ITTF President’s Advisory commission for the trust enshrined upon me. It is a win-win situation for further growth of Table Tennis in Uganda, the East African region and Africa as a whole” a visibly excited Muwanga remarked.
This initiative follows the adoption of Proposition A-07, submitted by the Uganda Table Tennis Association and approved by a two-thirds majority at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Riyadh city.
The proposal highlighted the urgent need for a strategic and collaborative approach to financial growth within the sport, particularly by increasing development funding and elevating marketing efforts.
The President’s Advisory Commission will be tasked with other missions and will gather additional members from each continent to ensure a broad and inclusive representation.
The Advisory Commission’s first task will be to develop recommendations for the creation of the Marketing Committee, following the decision of the 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM).
This marks the ITTF’s swift action to deliver on the mandate provided by its Member Associations.
The Marketing Committee is set to become a constitutionally recognised permanent committee of the ITTF from 1 January 2026. The AGM also approved the creation of a Gender, Equality and Diversity (GEDI) Committee, reflecting the Federation’s continued commitment to inclusivity and modern governance.
