Busan, a large port city in South Korea, will host the 2020 World Team Table Tennis Championships.

“Busan, Korea to host the 2020 World Table Tennis Championships. The first time ever Korea will host the event,’’ it said.
Meanwhile, the 2018 edition of the championships is ongoing in Halmstad, Sweden, where countries are participating in Championships’ divisions I, II and III.

Two cities, Ekaterinburg (Russia), and San Jose (U.S.) bid to host the championships alongside Busan.
