Teqball Descends On Tulsa This Week

Tulsa, OK, was selected as this year’s exclusive host city for the 2024 U.S. Teqball tournament, which will be held from June 14-16 and broadcast live internationally.
 

Teqball, the soccer-based sport played on a specially curved “Teq table,” is played globally in over 150 countries, including the U.S. 
 

The game has attracted a loyal following among professional and celebrity fans, including Messi, Neymar, Ronaldinho, David Beckham, Mauro Icardi, Eden Hazard, Justin Bieber, and Adam Levine, and is attracting a new generation of athletes and amateur enthusiasts called “Teqers.” 
 

After 2023, which was the busiest year for the Budapest, Hungary-based International Teqball Federation, including six events in Los Angeles and one in Miami, the governing body of Teqball, together with Tulsa Sports Commission, have been busy organizing the only tour in the U.S. in Tulsa, OK.
 

With three categories—women’s, men’s and mixed doubles—the preliminary stage of the competition will be held in the Titan Sports and Performance Center, while the final day will be where world-class Teqball players showcase their skills and compete in an outdoor tournament in downtown Tulsa.
 

“Tulsa’s sports landscape has been enriched by the TSC’s efforts, and the Teqball World Series promises to continue the tradition by providing a platform for economic growth, attracting visitors and showcasing Tulsa’s capabilities as a premier host city. I am sure the locals will enjoy the unique blend of Teqball excitement against the backdrop of Tulsa’s rich cultural heritage,” said Gabor Borsanyi, President of FITEQ.
 

“It has been a pleasure to work with the International Teqball Federation to bring this action-packed sport and over 1,000 athletes, staff and media professionals from 60 different countries to Tulsa,” said Alex Brown, national sports sales manager for the Tulsa Sports Commission. “This global sport is anticipated to bring our region a direct economic impact of over $1.3 million, with a total economic impact estimated at $2.3 million.”
 

“We are honored to be the only city in the country to host this unique event,” Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum said. “I am thankful to the Tulsa Sports Commission and so many others who are working to make Tulsa the city of choice for premiere sporting events.”
