The International Federation of Teqball (FITEQ) is honoured that teqball will be included as a demonstration sport in the 2021 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games (AIMAG), providing further opportunities for the sport to engage and inspire people throughout Asia.

The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) confirmed that teqball will be one of two demonstration sports in the Games, which are being held in Bangkok and Pattaya, Thailand, from 21-30 May 2021.

General Secretary of FITEQ Marius Vizer Jr said:

 “We are delighted with the news that teqball will be a demonstration sport in the AIMAG in 2021 and are grateful to the OCA and the NOC of Thailand for the opportunity to be a part of this prestigious event. This will serve as another important milestone in the teqball journey in Asia, following the sport’s debut as a medal sport in the Sanya Asian Beach Games in December this year."

 “We are a young, ambitious sport that is growing in all five continents and we are working hard to bring teqball to people all over the world. OCA President Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah has been very supportive of FITEQ from the start and we hope to repay him and the OCA Executive Board by bringing a new, youthful audience to the Games in 2021 and help the OCA inspire a more active Asia.”

 FITEQ was officially recognised by the OCA at the continental governing body’s General Assembly in Jakarta in August 2018.
