On 25 June 2026, the ITF rebranded as World Tennis. Due to logistical challenges, events on the newly renamed "Women's World Tennis Tour" may continue to use the former ITF branding until 1 January 2027.[3]
So they presumably can be called either!
But it would seem to make sense for this site to align on one name? Or maybe it doesnt matter?

To be honest, while I was aware of the rebranding, I hadn't given any thought to a change in the "labelling" of the Futures tournaments, probably because the quickest way of typing the subject lines is to rely on autofill, then tweak the week number, venue, category (M25 or M15) & occasionally surface, as necessary. To cap it all, the ITF icon has so far remained unchanged on my Firefox favourites page (though the related tab when I'm using another one shows "World Tennis | ITF"), the link on its home page to the live scoreboard goes to a page headed "ITF World Tennis Tour" & Sofascore hasn't bothered altering it, so until such time as that changes, I don't see that it does matter. That said, the Maribor M25 styles itself "WTT i-Vent Open Branik Maribor" (others have a mixture of WTT & ITF where they include them!), so I'd be happy to go with "WTT" instead of "ITF", if that's what board members would prefer.
