About FiTeq

The International Teqball Federation (FITEQ) is the global governing body for teqball and para teqball, established in March 2017 and headquartered in Budapest, Hungary. The federation's primary mission is to promote, govern, and develop the sport worldwide, uniting an international community of athletes and fans. FITEQ was founded by three Hungarian entrepreneurs: Gábor Borsányi, the creative force and a former professional football player who invented the sport; György Gattyán, an international businessman responsible for the business strategy; and Dr. Viktor Huszár, a computer scientist who provided the engineering and technical expertise. The sport itself was created in 2014.

FITEQ is responsible for codifying the official rules, sanctioning international competitions, managing world rankings, and educating athletes, coaches, and officials. The federation has seen rapid growth, with its membership expanding to over 150 national federations across five continents. Major tournaments organized by FITEQ include the Teqball World Championships, the Teqball World Series, and various continental tours. The organization's business model involves fostering global partnerships, organizing events, and promoting the sport to increase participation and viewership. It also has a strong focus on corporate social responsibility, using sport as a medium for social development. FITEQ has developed mobile applications for iOS and Android to engage with the teqball community, providing news, tournament information, and rankings. The federation's ambition is for teqball to become a future Olympic sport.
