**Teqball** is a ball sport that combines elements of football (soccer) and table tennis. It is governed by **FITEQ** (the International Teqball Federation). The core objective is simple: play the ball over the net so your opponent cannot legally return it — **without using your hands or arms**. Teqball can be played in three formats: - **Singles** — 1 vs 1 (two players total) - **Doubles** — 2 vs 2 (four players total) - **Mixed doubles** — also an officially recognised format A match is played as a **best-of-three sets**. Each set goes up to **12 points**. The first side to win **two sets** wins the match. This makes Teqball fast-paced and exciting — every rally matters because either side can score a point at any time, no matter who is serving.
