The table tennis federation in France · French Table Tennis Federation

The Fédération Française de Tennis de Table (FFTT), founded on 30 March 1927 (three months after the ITTF itself, which it joined in January 1929) and recognised as a public-interest body since 1970, is France's national governing body for table tennis and a member of the ITTF and the European Table Tennis Union.

It runs the national championships (Élite, Jeunes, Vétérans), the Pro A/Pro B team championships, national rankings, referee training, a federal coach-education programme and outreach schemes (ping éducatif, ping santé/PPS, ping inclusif).

Getting a licence

A licence is needed to play official table tennis competitions in France.

A licence is requested online through a club: players find a club on the federation's club map (carte.fftt.com) and submit a registration/re-registration request that the club validates, or take out a 'Licence liberté' (a club-independent licence) directly on the FFTT site; no licence price is published on the pages checked.
