India fields three-member teqball contingent in emerging sport

Teqball is an innovative sport that combines the technical skills of football with the tactical elements of table tennis. Played on a specially designed curved table, the sport requires players to use their feet, knees, chest, and head to control and strike a ball across the table's net in competitive matches. The curved surface distinguishes teqball from traditional table sports and adds a unique dimension to gameplay.

India's representation in teqball includes three athletes: Quimcy Dsouza, Mohamed Anas Imran Beg, and Declan Marshall Gonsalves. This contingent marks India's formal participation in a sport that has been gaining traction globally in recent years. The sport has attracted growing international interest, with increasing numbers of countries establishing national teqball federations and competing in organized tournaments.

Teqball has developed a structured competitive framework at both national and international levels. The sport emphasizes skill, precision, and athletic ability, drawing appeal from players with football backgrounds as well as those seeking alternative racquet and table sports. With India now fielding competitors, the nation joins a growing list of countries developing teqball programs and nurturing local talent in this emerging discipline.
