The Liberia National Teqball Federation (LNTF) has completed its first technical workshop in the country, aimed at providing hands-on technical knowledge of the sport.

Held at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in the capital Monrovia, the goals of the one-day event were to provide broader understanding on teqball operations, rules and technical activities.

"This workshop is focused on building the technical capacity of a new contingent of technical personnel in promoting teqball across the country," said Musa Shannon, founder of the LNTF, as reported by Front Page Africa.

"This approach is geared towards raising a group of teqball's tacticians who will serve in various technical capacities in helping to promote the expansion of the sport in Liberia.

"The rationale behind the one-day technical workshop hinges on the possibility of preparing and producing the next biggest teqball talent in West Africa, with the distribution of teqball-boards still ongoing."

Musa, a former international footballer for Liberia, says that the LNTF aims to inspire dedicated players and cultivate the sport with aspirations of the country appearing at the next International Federation of Teqball (FITEQ) World Championships.

Dester Zeogar Wilson, Liberian Youth and Sports Minister, was at the event and urged the LNTF to take the sport to schools to get more children interested.

LNTF is the newest sporting federation in Liberia after being established in 2020.

It is the 13th country in Africa to have established a teqball federation.
