De La Salle University has brought the University Athletic Association of the Philippines Season 86 table tennis tournament to the Amoranto Sports Complex.

The competition is being held at the newly-built Amoranto Arena where table tennis aficionados from all levels have traditionally converge to play and learn the sport and interact with other players of the community.

La Salle, through the efforts of UAAP Board of managing director Nong Calanog, has once again leveled up its hosting of the UAAP competition as the tables and the taraflex flooring used were in compliance with the standards of the International Table Tennis Federation.

Match officials are also certified by the ITTF with the tournament also played in an airconditioned venue as La Salle serves as sub-host for the second straight time after last season's competition held at the Makati Coliseum.

"It's a nostalgic moment for the table tennis community," said Philippine Table Tennis Federation Inc. secretary general Pong Ducanes.

"It brings back a lot of memories since a lot of the players and even coaches learned the sport in Amoranto."

Amoranto Arena action officer Martin Manese and Quezon City sports consultant Benjo Afuang also contributed in bringing the matches to the venue.
