Table tennis might just be the most universal sport in the world. Wherever you go, you’ll find table tennis tables and people playing the game — often just for fun, but sometimes as members of a club. Amsterdam ‘78 is one such club, with over 160 active members from all walks of life. This makes Amsterdam ‘78 one of the largest and oldest table tennis clubs in the Netherlands.
