The Waldner Cup is a new tournament where Team Asia gets to face the rest of the world’s elite in table tennis.
It was supposed to be played in 2022 but was moved to 2023. Then it was a star-studded team that was presented, but the tournament was moved once more at short notice.
Now captain Jan-Ove Waldner has presented his squad for the tournament in Norway on December 13-15, and it includes our Swedish star Truls Möregårdh.
He is joined by Brazilian world number six Hugo Calderano.
Ma Long, who does not play herself but is only captain, is lining up with the strongest opposition on the women’s side, led by, among others, world number four Chen Meng.
