Teqball Influencers Show Their Skills in a Brand New Sport

Teqball, an exciting sport that combines the ball control skills of soccer with the outlined rules of table tennis, is an emerging sport around the world. Many former soccer players transfer their skills, while others specialize in the new game.

In teqball, players face off around a curved table with a small net. An athlete can touch the ball three times before returning it over the net to the other player. The game can be individual or in doubles teams.

The following influencers are championing the rising sport, which in 2023 was officially recognized by the European Olympic Committees and added to the European Games. It is not yet an Olympic sport, but you may want to keep an eye on its progress. Even NBA star Jimmy Butler and Brazilian soccer star Neymar tried the game.
