The ITTF-Oceania AGM also heard from Pacific Games Council Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Minogue, on the 2023 Pacific Games held in Honiara Solomon Islands. Table tennis is proud to be part of the Pacific Games since its inception in 1963.

Anthony Moore was re-elected unopposed as President and joining him on the Management Committee are:
• Sarah Sandley (Australia)

ITTF-Oceania has three positions on the ITTF Council and following this election Sarah Sandley, Carolyn Li and James Ji Jr. are also appointed to these roles.
Anthony Moore said “I am delighted with the opportunity to continue to serve as President of ITTF-Oceania. Although the Paris 2024 Games are only a matter of weeks away, we have our eyes firmly set on Brisbane 2032 as we look to provide real and tangible support to our Member Associations across the region. These next four years are crucial for us to all take advantage of a ‘Home Games’ on our doorstep and I am excited to lead the organisation as we come together with this focus.”
