The table tennis tournaments at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris are scheduled to run from 27 July to 10 August at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. A total of 172 table tennis players, with an equal distribution between men and women, will compete across five medal events (two per gender and a mixed) at these Games, the exact same amount as those in the previous editions. After a hugely successful Tokyo 2020, the mixed doubles tournament remains in the table tennis program for the second time at the Olympics.
Arena Paris Sud
The Paris Sud Arena is part of Paris Expo, one of the most active exhibition and convention centers in Europe and the busiest in France. Paris Expo is an area of 35 hectares, 228,000m² of exhibition halls, 7 pavilions which welcomes 7.5 million visitors each year, particularly during the famous Agricultural Show. With Halls 1, 4 and 6 which will host numerous events, and certain halls reserved for the logistical aspects of the Games, Paris Expo constitutes one of the major hubs of the Paris 2024 Games.
Built in 1923 to host the Paris Fair, the complex has grown considerably over the years and now adapts to all requirements and configurations. An ambitious renovation program, in three phases over ten years, the last of which will end in 2023, is currently underway to modernize the infrastructure.
Legacy
South Paris Arena, as well as every other hall at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, will continue to host shows, fairs and conventions throughout the year.
