From 27th October to 1st November, world-class international table tennis made the show in Montpellier. The WTT Champions 2026 represented a special event for TIBHAR for two reasons: TIBHAR was the official supplier for flooring, tables and balls and at the same time proposed a large area for fans and spectators at the venue.
Sporting surprises in front of an enthusiastic crowd
The tournament also brought a few surprises on the sporting side. Local heroes and crowd favourites Alexis and Félix Lebrun, who were among the leading contenders, unfortunately could not prevail this year. Alexis lost his opening match to Patrick Franziska after five hard-fought games, while Félix was knocked out by Zhou Qihao in the 16th round. However, the two brothers could count on the fans’ support all along.
TIBHAR provides the foundation for world-class table tennis
The official supplier TIBHAR equipped the WTT Champions Montpellier with flooring, tables and balls. TIBHAR products were an integral part of the tournament with every rally, performing in an environment where equipment has to meet the highest standards.
Plenty of space to share a passion for table tennis
Besides the playing area, TIBHAR also had much more to offer. With four stands at the Sud de France Arena Montpellier, plenty of visitors and fans were introduced to TIBHAR’s wide product assortment, ranging from new apparel to blades and rubbers, shoes and other accessories.
Visitors looking for a new outfit for training or for their next competition could browse the range, alongside fans hoping to take home a souvenir of the tournament. Our busy shopping place also offered the opportunity for many to meet and connect. The breaks between matches were a great opportunity for everyone to speak with fans, answer questions about our products and finally share our enthusiasm for table tennis. These personal conversations made the days in Montpellier particularly special for our team.
The passion was evident everywhere: in the stands, around the playing area and at our booths. It was a great pleasure to meet so many friendly fans and see familiar faces again.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited us and shared their enthusiasm during this week of table tennis. Your support and the fantastic atmosphere at the Sud de France Arena made Montpellier 2026 a special experience for us!
