Teqball is a football-based sport, played on a curved table (the Teq table), which is attracting a new generation of athletes and amateur enthusiasts whose ambition is to develop their technical skills, concentration, and stamina. Teqball is played between two (singles) or four players (doubles), irrespective of gender.
