Chile: A Blueprint for Planned Integration Leading to World-Class Events<\/h4><\/div>

06 Jun 2025<\/p>

How strategic planning and collaboration transformed Chilean Para table tennis and delivered the ITTF World Para Future Santiago de Chile 2025<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

This week, Chile made history by hosting the ITTF World Para Future Santiago de Chile 2025\u2014a world-class tournament that represents far more than exceptional competition. It stands as the culmination of a carefully orchestrated integration process that has transformed Para table tennis governance in the country and established Chile as a regional pioneer.<\/div><\/div>

Until 2024, Para table tennis in Chile followed the same path as most countries worldwide\u2014governed by the National Paralympic Committee, Copachi. But inspired by the ITTF\u2019s groundbreaking integration of Para table tennis in 2007, Chile\u2019s national federation, Fechiteme, embarked on an ambitious transformation that would reshape the sport\u2019s future in the country.<\/p>

In 2023, Fechiteme began what would become a model integration process, guided by the expertise of Omar Refaat and Carlos Esnard from the ITTF development department. Rather than rushing into change, they methodically worked through the ITTF Para table tennis integration online service\u2014a comprehensive training programme designed to navigate the complex challenges federations face during transition.<\/p>

The training addressed three critical areas: institutional restructuring, sport technical development, and financial management. This systematic approach ensured that every aspect of the transition was carefully planned and executed.<\/p>

What made Chile\u2019s integration particularly successful was its collaborative spirit. The process wasn\u2019t just between Fechiteme and Copachi\u2014it actively involved the IND (National Institute of Sport, reporting to the Ministry of Sports), ensuring that knowledge transfer was handled professionally and that athletes remained protected throughout the transition.<\/p>

Crucially, the transfer of governance didn\u2019t signal the end of partnerships. Fechiteme recognised that Copachi\u2019s years of experience in areas such as classification and IPC regulations remained invaluable, creating a foundation for ongoing collaboration rather than institutional rivalry.<\/p>

The tournament showcases everything the integration process aimed to achieve: top-quality facilities at the Paralympic Training Centre (a lasting legacy from the Santiago 2023 Para Pan American Games) and seamless coordination between both organisations working together as a unified team.<\/p>

The event represents just the beginning of Chile\u2019s ambitious Para table tennis programme. Plans are already underway for Para training camps, classification seminars, and classification opportunities for intellectually impaired athletes\u2014demonstrating how proper integration creates a platform for sustained growth.<\/p>

The success speaks through its leaders.\u00a0Beatriz Campillay, President of Fechiteme<\/strong>, reflects on the collaborative achievement: \u201cThis integration process has been possible thanks to the joint effort of all parties: Fechiteme, Copachi, National Institute of Sport, and ITTF. This work synergy allowed us to deliver successfully the ITTF World Para Future Santiago 2025 in the Paralympic Training Centre. Now, it is time to keep up the good work to make Para table tennis grow even more.\u201d<\/p>

Sebastian Villavicencio, President of Copachi<\/strong>, emphasises the broader impact: \u201cIt has been a very enriching endeavour and is paving the way for other federations in Chile. Para table tennis in Chile is a sport that, thanks to sustained and planned work, has reached a standard that allows us to be pioneers in the region and gives us the foundation to dream of new goals. This week we reached another milestone: we can say that Chile organised a top-notch international tournament. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Fechiteme and also reaffirm our commitment to continue working together.\u201d<\/p>

Chile\u2019s integration journey demonstrates that successful change requires more than good intentions\u2014it demands strategic planning, expert guidance, collaborative spirit, and sustained commitment. As others across Latin America and beyond watch Chile\u2019s progress, the MA has established itself as a regional pioneer, proving that thoughtful integration can elevate Para table tennis to new heights whilst strengthening the entire sporting ecosystem.<\/p>
