History will be re-written twice as for the first time ever, Teqball will be featured in one of the greatest sporting events in Europe, the European Games and like many other sports, this tournament is not only about being part of the EG but will also count as the debuting European Championship for teqers, 

The debut of Teqball will consist of 69 players from 21 different countries in all five categories (women’s and men’s singles, doubles, and mixed doubles).

From 16 countries, 16 female athletes start the road to the final in women’s single.

Top-ranked and World Champion (2021) Anna Izsak won't take part in this event, so World Ranking 4th Amelie Julian will be the highest-seeded participant. The Frenchwoman would like to live up to the expectations, as she mentioned that her goal is to win the single’s event and make it to the semifinals in the doubles.

„Participating in the European Games means for me the opportunity to represent my country in the best possible way” – said the 22-year-old, who added that she’s been training every single day and is in tremendous form as she won already two titles in 2023, both in mixed doubles.

She will be challenged by Kinga Barabasi; the two faced each other in Podgorica in the bronze medal game last time, with the Romanian topping Julian.

Another contender is Hungarian Zsanett Janicsek, who has won two of the four European Teqball Tours in this category that were the qualifiers of the multiple sports event in Kraków. Although she is a two-time world champion, both in doubles, she is keen to have her first individual podium finish in 2023.

Nanna Lind Kristensen from Denmark is also a player to watch: at the age of 18, she is the youngest contestant in the single’s competition, but despite her age, the youngster already cracked the top 20 in the World Rankings. On the other end of the scale, 49-year-old Carla Couto will represent Portugal.
