De Nutte and Glod Prepare to Defend Titles at Luxembourg National Championships

Bertrange, Luxembourg – The 2026 Foyer National Championships are set to take place this weekend at the Centre Atert in Bertrange, where Luxembourg’s leading table tennis players will compete for national titles in men’s and women’s singles and doubles, as well as mixed doubles.

Defending Champions Return

All eyes will be on defending singles champions Sarah De Nutte (Diddeleng) and Eric Glod (Wëntger) as they aim to retain their crowns. The competition is expected to be fierce, with several strong contenders vying for podium positions.

Women’s Singles: De Nutte the Favorite

Sarah De Nutte enters the women’s event as the main favorite, but she will face stiff competition from Enisa Sadikovic (Diddeleng), who is looking to build on her recent progress. Other players targeting medal positions include Carole Hartmann (Iechternach), Jona Schroeder (Préizerdaul), Melisa Sadikovic (Diddeleng), Tessy Dumont (Lënster), and Kinda Mostafa (Union).

Men’s Singles: A Wide-Open Competition

The men’s competition promises high-quality encounters, particularly in the later rounds. Former national champions Luka Mladenovic (Berbuerg), Maël Van Dessel (Hueschtert-F.), and Eric Glod (Wëntger), along with Aaron Sahr (Houwald), are among the leading contenders. Loris Stephany (Berbuerg), Tom Scholtes (Berbuerg), Arlindo De Sousa (Lénger), and Gene Wantz (Recken) are also expected to challenge for the title. Emerging talents Pit Scholtes (Lenneng), Luca Elsen (Lëntgen), and Foos Ferber (Préizerdaul) will be looking to develop their mark.

Doubles Events: Latest Champions Guaranteed

New champions are guaranteed in the doubles events, as none of last year’s gold medal-winning pairs will return in the same combinations. Top seeds in men’s doubles are Wantz / Van Dessel and Glod / Ciociu. In the women’s event, the leading pairs are Gonderinger / De Nutte and Sadikovic / Sadikovic. The top seeds in mixed doubles are De Nutte / Michely and Sadikovic / Wantz.

“I hope I will think about it and proceed to Bertrange,” jokes Sarah De Nutte.
