"Vietnam already proved how wonderful host can be in Quy Nhon and I truly believe that in the jaw-dropping Ho Chi Minh City we will witness a unique tournament." said the co-founder of Teqball.

Vietnam has quickly become a key destination for Teqball, following the resounding success of the Teqball World Series Quy Nhon in June 2024. That event, which took place on the beautiful beaches of Quy Nhon, saw packed bleachers and enthusiastic crowds.

FITEQ is dedicated to bring together the family of Teqball, it will provide financial aid for national federations in order to create the biggest world championships ever.
