EDITOR’S NOTES
ABOUT TEQBALL
Teqball is a new football-based sport, designed in Hungary, that is ideal for professional footballers and amateur players alike to develop their technical skills, concentration and stamina. Teqball is the brainchild of former professional footballer Gábor Borsányi. His idea was brought to life by fellow co-founders Viktor Huszár, a computer scientist who designed the iconic curved table the game is played on – and György Gattyán, founder and owner of Docler Holding, Teqball’s business strategist. After its inception five years ago, Teqball is already being played by 3,000-4,000 people in 66 different countries. Teqball tables are available to buy for competitive, training, home or leisure use.
ABOUT FITEQ
As well as being a fun game and football training aid, practised by some of the biggest players and teams in world football, Teqball is a sport in its own right, governed by the Fédération Internationale de Teqball (FITEQ), which was founded in 2017. Based in Lausanne, Switzerland, FITEQ’s primary mission is to introduce and develop the sport globally, establish national federations and unite the international Teqball community. FITEQ organised the sport’s first World Cup in Hungary in 2017 and staged the second edition in Reims, France, in October 2018. Co-founders, Gábor Borsányi, György Gattyán and Viktor Huszár, serve as the FITEQ president and vice-presidents respectively. Teqball became the world’s fastest recognised sport in August 2018 when FITEQ was officially recognised by the Olympic Committee of Asia and in 2019 it was officially recognised by the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA). FITEQ’s long-term goal is to see Teqball develop into an Olympic sport.
