Greater investment into the sport’s elite events aims for a professional environment for the competing athletes in addition to the filtering system to ensure teqball grassroots gets the required funding to support its development.

The annual Teqball World Championships is still the most prestigious event with those participating having the highest world ranking points and the highest level of prize money on offer.

Since being introduced in 2017, four World Championships have been staged with 74 countries competing in at least one edition.

The 2022 version is anticipated to be held between October 1 and 31, though a host is yet to be confirmed.

The annual Continental Championships, which was launched this year, is the next distinguished on the calendar.

This is followed by the newly created World Series that held its first edition between March 18 and 20 in Paris.

A total of 178 athletes from 29 countries competed in the event where the overall prize money pot stood at $100,000 (£76,000/€92,000).

In addition, Teqball Tours have been organised in Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America, with events already being staged in Europe and the Americas, while Challenge Cups remains an important feature on the FITEQ calendar.

The second and final day of the USA Teqball Tour in Los Angeles is being staged today and the Romanian city of Târgu Mureș is expected to host the next leg of the European Teqball Tour.

National Federations are also under obligation to form domestic competitions and leagues to run alongside these events.
