During Ronaldhino’s visit to Luxembourg last October, to present Teqball (teqball.com), a number of young football enthusiasts have taken on the challenge of giving this fast-growing sport a whole new meaning.

Daniel, Dany, Kabir, Lucas and Marco share one thing in common; a passion for football. The young men, all studying at Lycée Technique de Lallange, joined forces and took it upon themselves to organise the very first Teqball tournament of Luxembourg. This event will take place on Saturday 20 May at the Rives de Clausen. Players will pair up for 10-minute matches where they will test both their agility and technique.

"Luxembourg is full of good football players and very active clubs, so it felt natural for us to create a Teqball event and to give the people of Luxembourg the opportunity to discover this exciting, new sport. Sports have always enjoyed an elevated position at our high school, and this tournament will help us meet with other players from all over the country. We are expecting around 32 teams. We are in charge of organising the entire thing including the search for sponsors, partners and funds. This sport event is also something that could be our first step in our professional lives!“ said the group.

FITEQ, the International Teqball Federation

This first tournament will mark the start of Teqball’s life in Luxembourg as, in September 2017, the first Teqball All Stars Cup will take place in the Grand-Duchy, drawing in great international players.

Additionally, the Fédération Internationale de Teqball (FITEQ) was recently founded, further realising the dream of the Teqball team to make this new practice an Olympic sport.
