LONDON – The International Tennis Federation will change its name to World Tennis in 2026.
NTA members voted to approve the switch at the governing body’s annual general meeting on Thursday.
“This change will provide a clearer identity that is more relevant to players, fans, partners and tennis stakeholders around the world and align the brand with most of the most prominent global governing bodies in sport,” the ITF said in a statement.
ITF President David Haggerty added: “World Tennis better reflects who we are today: the global governing body and guardians of the game, working alongside our members to keep the game alive.”
The organization was founded in Paris in 1913 as the International Lawn Tennis Federation and was renamed the International Tennis Federation in 1977.
