Eight of the ten clubs playing in the Pro A table tennis league – Bruille, Caen, Hennebont, Pontoise-Cergy, Angers, Roanne, Stella Sport La Romagne, and Thorigné-Fouillard – spoke with one voice at the end of January, publicly expressing "their deep concern and profound disagreement with the French Table Tennis Federation's decision to change the league format, despite the overwhelming opposition of the clubs involved."
The points of contention? First, a reduction in the number of matches: starting with the 2027-2028 season, there would no longer be return matches in the regular season, and a playoff/playdown format would be implemented, as in Pro B. "This represents a major risk to the financial stability of professional clubs due to the reduced visibility," the joint statement explains. "It also weakens public and private partnerships and threatens employment...")

(Even though the latest rules aren't really being applied in the Pro A table tennis championship, a major new reform is in the works at the national federation for implementation in September 2027. For 80% of the clubs in France's top team league, this is an absurdity. For its part, the French Federation stands by its desire to shake things up and explains its position.Alors même que les dernières règles ne sont pas vraiment appliquées dans le championnat de Pro A de tennis de table, une nouvelle réforme, majeure, est dans les cartons des instances fédérales pour une application en septembre 2027. Pour 80 % des clubs du plus haut championnat de France par équipes, il s’agit d’une aberration. De son côté, la Fédération française assume sa volonté de faire bouger les lignes. Et explique sa position.

Huit des dix clubs évoluant en Pro A de tennis de table – Bruille, Caen, Hennebont, Pontoise-Cergy, les Loups d’Angers, Roanne, la Stella sport La Romagne et Thorigné-Fouillard – s’expriment d’une même voix, en cette fin janvier, pour confier publiquement "leur vive inquiétude et leur profond désaccord face à la décision de la Fédération française de tennis de table de modifier la formule du championnat, et ce, malgré l’opposition très largement majoritaire des clubs concernés."
Les points de tension ? D’abord, une réduction du nombre de rencontres : à partir de la saison 2027-2028, il n’y aurait plus de matches retour en phase régulière et une formule playoffs/playdown, comme en Pro B. "Cela représente un risque majeur pour l’équilibre économique des clubs professionnels en raison de la baisse de visibilité, relate le communiqué commun. De la fragilisation des partenariats publics et privés, de la menace sur l’emploi..."
