Teqball is a ball sport that combines football and table tennis and is played on a curved table. Back and forth, players hit the ball with any part of their bodies except arms and hands. Teqball can be played between two players as a singles game or between four players as a doubles game.

The sport first appeared in Hungary in 2014. FITEQ currently gathers more than 150 national federations, and there are more than 4,000 clubs of this sport all over the world. FITEQ has organized five World Cup editions – in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023.
