History:
In December 14, 1973, the
Swedish Tennis Association organized a meeting
in Germany, participated in 22 representatives
from 11 European countries to discuss the
harmonization of all tennis activities across
Europe. The participants then acknowledged
the need to strengthen cooperation among
national tennis organizations in Europe
and agreed to set up a European Working
Group. The group was tasked to tackle challenges
relating to the development and organization
of tennis in Europe, covering every aspect
of the game, from juniors, ladies, veterans,
calendars, and training activities, among
others. As tasks facing the working group
grew, the concept of putting up a European
Tennis Association cropped up. The working
group immediately started ground work for
the establishment of such organization,
by coming up with draft by-laws, proposed
office locations, budget, and appointing
a General Secretary, among others. Thus,
in May 31, 1975 in Rome, the European Tennis
Association was established. A little over
than a year after its foundation, ITF recognized
the European Tennis Association as a regional
governing body.
Today, the association
is known as Tennis Europe, and is composed
of 58 member nations. Tennis Europe mainly
serves a facilitator between its affiliated
member nations and the ITF. It also oversees
all aspects of tennis in Europe and organizes
tournaments.
