The Balkan Senior Table Tennis Championships 2023 is hosted and organized by the Bulgarian Table Tennis Federation under the umbrella of the sport’s Balkan Union. It is the 48th in history (BTTU also counts the years of the Under 21 championships) and will be held at Sports Hall Albena.

The championship includes all events, namely men’s team, women’s team, singles and doubles in the same categories, as well as mixed doubles. Classically, the team will open the program on Saturday 02/09 and the relevant draw will be held one day before. On Sunday 03/09, the individual draws will follow. The senior Balkan championship returned in 2022 in Bosnia and Herzegovina with our men’s national team winning the bronze medal. Antoniadis and Hatzilygeroudis were also on the mission then (Zikos was also on the coaching team), while it should be added that the composition of the national women’s team is exactly the same as last year.
