The Teqball World Championships, formerly the Teqball World Cup, is an international teqball tournament sanctioned by the International Teqball Federation (FITEQ).
History
The Teqball World Championships was first organized as the Teqball World Cup. The inaugural edition was held in Hungary in July 2017. This was followed by a tournament in Reims, France, the following year. In 2019, the tournament, now under its current name, returned to Hungary.[1]
In 2020, the World Championship was not held due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The annual competition would be held again from 2021.[3]
