Over the past decade, this dynamic and rapidly growing sport has achieved remarkable success, captivating the hearts of over 5000 players worldwide, establishing 156 national federations, and hosting six thrilling world championships.
Teqball's journey began with a dream, fueled by the passion and hard work of its founders. Mr. Gabor Borsanyi, who is also the president of the International Federation of Teqball (FITEQ), Mr. Viktor Huszar, Chairman of FITEQ and Mr. Gyorgy Gattyan. It was exactly ten years ago, on the opening day of the 2014 World Cup, that the first public video of Teqball was shared, signalling the start of an exhilarating and incomprehensible adventure. Reflecting on this journey, Mr. Gabor Borsanyi, President of FITEQ, shared his thoughts:
"Ten years ago, when we shared the first public video about Teqball on the opening day of the 2014 World Cup, we had no idea what an exciting and incomprehensible period was about to begin in our lives. It all started with a dream but continued with hard work and passion, which is still present in Teqball's life today. Since then, we have had 156 national associations, Teqball has become a Hungarikum, but most importantly, we have created value through sport, because those who play feel good and share positive energy. We will celebrate this milestone in Tulsa, USA during the Teqball World Series Tulsa which is the very first in the American continent."
The sport's innovative blend of football and table tennis quickly gained traction, attracting athletes and enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds. Teqball's unique appeal lies in its accessibility and the emphasis on skill, precision, and agility.
