The inaugural edition of the Dream UTT Juniors tournament is scheduled to take place at EKA Arena, Ahmedabad, from May 29 to June 8, 2025.
Showcasing 16 of India’s most talented U-15 table tennis players, this tournament marks a pioneering effort in grassroots sports development.
The initiative is a result of the partnership between Dream Sports Foundation (DSF) and Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT), with DSF as the official Youth Development Partner.
Showcasing emerging talent, the tournament brings together the top eight boys and eight girls from the Dream Sports Championship Table Tennis 2025 that concluded in March, headlined by champions Sahil Rawat of Chandigarh and Mumbai’s Divyanshi Bhowmick.
These 16 athletes have been drafted across UTT’s eight franchises:
Ahmedabad SG Pipers: Abheek Kashyap and Mouboni Chatterjee
Stanley’s Chennai Lions: Siddhanth Dhariwal and Divyanshi Bhowmick
Dabang Delhi T.T.C.: Akash Rajavelu and Dhaani Jain
Dempo Goa Challengers: Sahil Rawat and Aarya Redkar
Jaipur Patriots: Trishal Surapureddy and Shreya Dhar
Kolkata ThunderBlades: Ritvik Gupta and Swara Karmarkar
PBG Pune Jaguars: Atharva Nawarange and Tushti Sood
U Mumba TT: Prateek Tulsani and Ananya Muralidhar
This competition will give them unprecedented exposure to India’s premier table tennis ecosystem.
The tournament also aims to bridge the gap between grassroots and professional table tennis in India, providing these young champions with authentic league experience that will accelerate their development toward representing India at future international competitions.
The 11-day tournament will follow a league format with 20 ties in the group stage. The semi-finals will be held on June 07, and the final on June 08. Each match day will feature multiple ties starting from 9:00 AM and will be streamed live on FanCode. The action begins on Thursday, May 29.
