On August 6, the American Table Tennis Major League MLTT officially announced that Chinese Olympic champion and Super Grand Slam winner Fan Zhendong will invest in the league as a strategic investor. After his first overseas campaign, Fan Zhendong has now invested in the American Table Tennis League. He is undoubtedly exploring more possibilities for himself.

According to the official announcement of the MLTT of the Major League of Table Tennis, "Breaking up, welcome to join MLTT, Fan Zhendong! This Olympic gold medalist will join the first professional table tennis league in the United States as a strategic investor."

It is worth mentioning that the MLTT of the Major League of Table Tennis was established in 2023 and was founded by entrepreneur and table tennis enthusiast Flint Ryan. It aims to make table tennis a good development platform in the United States and enhance the attention and influence of table tennis in the United States.

The American Table Tennis Major League is a pure commercial league and is not affiliated with the ITTF system, but players are allowed to participate in other events at the same time. Both male and female players in the Major League of Table Tennis have a mixed team competition system, and the competition includes singles, doubles and a unique "golden match", which greatly enhances the viewing and tactical diversity of the game.

The American Table Tennis Major League was founded in 2023 with 8 teams, and has now expanded to 10 teams, with 5 teams from both east and west. Now that Fan Zhendong invests in the league as a strategic investor, it will undoubtedly bring more attention and will also help it continue to develop. After the Paris Olympics, Fan Zhendong first joined the Bundesliga table tennis Salbrücken Club and started his first overseas trip. Now he is investing in the American Table Tennis League, which undoubtedly makes people look forward to his future.

Just about Fan Zhendong's investment in the American Table Tennis League, netizens also felt like they were joking: "It is equivalent to James investing in CBA."
