The Largest Table Tennis Platform in Ukraine SETKA CUP Opened New Location and Increased The Number of Games

Ukraine’s largest platform for table tennis development, SETKA CUP, opened a new location in Lviv. SETKA CUP’s total area in Kyiv and Dnipro was 2,330 sq. meters. Lviv expanded it to 2,730 sq. meters.
All rooms at locations are named in accordance with a specific concept. Lviv rooms have the names of the most influential cities in ping-pong history – ‘London’ and ‘Beijing’. ‘Beijing’ has an area of 8×16 meters and today is the largest of all SETKA CUP rooms.
“This new location enables us to hold tournaments of all levels. In addition, we will expand the table tennis community, which already consists of more than 550 rated players and 5,000 fans,” Denys Kalachevskyi, SETKA CUP tournaments organizer, said.
SETKA CUP holds 6,500+ matches per month. All games are dynamic, have an average duration of 30 minutes, and combined with live analytics and detailed player statistics.
Each game can have up to 20 markets.
“We have 24/7 live streaming, and up to 7 table tennis games happen simultaneously.
Our athletes don’t play more than three days in a row and can’t participate in more than one tournament per day. It helps to avoid sports injuries and professional burn-out. And of course, we comply with all the quarantine rules and check the health of our players daily,” Denys added.
Only three people can be present in a room during the game: two players and one referee. This rule helps prevent any influence on players and avoid any possible interference in the game’s outcome.
SETKA CUP is the professional league and the largest platform for table tennis development in Ukraine, established in 2018. SETKA CUP organizes open non-commercial tournaments and has more than 6500+ commercial table tennis and tennis tournaments per month. The table tennis of SETKA CUP is worldwide known in the sports betting industry and among fans.
The platform also has unique media channels with English-language content that cover sporting and educational events of table tennis. The content of SETKA CUP is popular in 150+ countries around the world.

Ukraine has created a new agency named “PlayCity” to control state policy in the field of gambling and lotteries.
The work of “PlayCity” will be coordinated by the Cabinet of Ministers through the Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Development of Education, Science and Technology — Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov.
In 2025, the agency will be financed within the budget of the liquidated Gambling Commission (CRGL).
