Ping-pong progress exposes gaps

There is a gap between emerging talent and a fully structured development system, particularly in the absence of school sports across the country. The Botswana Table Tennis Association (BTTA) Under-15 and Under-19 teams returned home after competing at the Fourth Annual Sports Event Table Tennis Tournament, held from April 4 to 5, 2026, in South Africa.

BTTA sent a 10-member squad to the elite tournament held during the Easter holidays for the two age groups.
