Mr. Viktor Huszár, Chairman of FITEQ and co-founder of Teqball, says, "Although this year’s World Teqball Championships have not yet started, the history books have already been re-written twice. First, Bangkok, Thailand hosting the event as the first World Championships held outside of Europe. Second, with the record numbers of participating players and countries. With two-hundred-and-fourteen teqers representing sixty-one nations, the biggest-ever teqball world championships will start on November 28. These numbers confirm that Bangkok is one of the most attractive places in our globe, and an ideal location for our event."
