The 11th Belarus Open will become a test tournament in table tennis for the II European Games, so in November we are waiting for the best players of Europe in Minsk. After all, the Belarus Open is a great opportunity to try hand at the venue that will become a place of struggle for the medals of the II European Games in the summer of 2019, and together with it for the Olympic quotas.
In 2017, 195 athletes from 29 countries took part in the Belarus Open. This year we expect an even greater diversity of participating countries, because the term of visa-free stay of foreign citizens in Belarus is increased to 30 days, provided they enter the country and depart from it crossing the state border at the National Airport Minsk. For more information on visa-free travel, visit the website MFA.
