What is Teqball?
Teqball is a combination between football, table tennis and foot volleyball. It is played on a table that looks a lot like a table tennis table. The only difference is that Teqball tables are round. The aim is to get the ball across with your foot or head to score a point. Place the ball in a way that makes it difficult for the opponent to handle the ball and play it back. You can play both 1 v 1 and 2 v 2 in Teqball and it is very good for your technique.
For the origins of this upcoming sport, we go back to 2012. The origins of Teqball are in Budapest. In Budapest, they figured out a way how to make a table tennis table suitable for a game of football. This was not easy and people spent two years developing a Teqball table.
Several prototypes followed and in 2014 the first official Teqball table was introduced. The World Cup in 2017 and the creation of 100 international Teqball federations followed. The new goal is the 2032 Olympic Games.

Teqball tables
We sell three different Teqball tables, each with its own features and specifications.
Teqball One
The Teqball One is Teqball’s official match table. The table has received the “Red Dot Design Award” and the “ISPO Innovation Award”. The Teqball One is hufterproof and therefore also suitable for furnishing public spaces. In addition, the table is UV-resistant and waterproof. For a club, it is also possible to design the table to match the club colours.

Unlike the Teqball One, the Teqball Smart is foldable and mobile. This makes this Teqball table suitable for multifunctional spaces. The table can also be used outdoors.
Teqball Lite
Compared to the other Teqball tables, the Teqball Lite is the most mobile table. This table is the easiest to fold and move because it is also somewhat lighter than the other variants. The table can be used indoors and outdoors.
