Teqball, a new football/table tennis hybrid sport, and its international federation, FITEQ, are the latest additions to the upcoming iWorkinSport Job Fair, which will take place in Lausanne, on 24 May.
Teqball, which is the name for both the multifunctional sport equipment and the new, football-based sport played on it, looks like a curved ping-pong table at first sight; however, it can be used in much more ways than one may think. According to the game’s official website, it is a training tool for both professionals and amateurs to develop their technical, concentration skills, and stamina.
The sport was a big hit during the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and served as a workout/training tool for various national teams playing in the competition, including the Brazilian national team.
FITEQ is Teqball’s world governing body and has offices in Budapest, Hungary, and Lausanne, Switzerland. Alongside establishing Teqball as a truly global sport, FITEQ also operates an annual CSR programme, aiming to reach underprivileged regions. In 2018, FITEQ's CSR program reached thousands of people in Jordan, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Israel, Palestine, Nigeria and Madagascar.
Viktor Huszár, Teqball’s CEO, said: “We’re delighted to be attending the iWorkinSport Job Fair and welcome any of the highly qualified candidates interested in meeting with us on site”.
Joao Frigerio, iWorkinSport founder and director, commented: “The great thing about the iWorkinSport Job Fair is that it brings together various types of sports organisations: from traditional ones, such as the governing bodies for football and basketball, to new, innovative companies, such as Teqball and FITEQ. I had the chance to try it, and it is indeed, a super entertaining sport, and more than that, a sport with enormous growth potential. I’m sure that the candidates attending the event will be very pleased to meet them and interested in job opportunities there too”.
