More than medals: shared experiences and learning
While the matches were fierce and competitive, what truly stood out was the collaborative and supportive atmosphere off the court. All athletes and coaches participated in a referee-led workshop by FITEQ, designed to reinforce rule understanding and promote fair, respectful play. Open to the public, the workshop also allowed local spectators to engage with the sport more deeply.
The tournament showcased what collaboration across clubs and countries can achieve. EMCA member clubs – SS Lazio, HAŠK Mladost and Levski – didn’t just compete. They were key contributors to the organization of the event, managing logistics, coordination and volunteer support. Their partnership was further strengthened by their joint involvement in the STAY! project, which shares similar values of inclusion, youth engagement and cross-border cooperation.
A step forward and a shoutout to Aalborg
Comparing the first and second EU TeqGames tournaments, the progress is undeniable. The gameplay was sharper, the teams better prepared, and the energy even higher.
A special mention goes to Aalborg Boldspilklub af 1885 (Denmark), who made a remarkable leap forward. After taking home just one medal in Piraeus, they came back to Rome stronger than ever, winning six medals and making it to two bronze medal matches. Their dedication, growth and team spirit are proof that the future is bright.
Looking ahead
The second edition of EU TeqGames was a success on every level, from the intensity on the court to the friendships and learning experiences off it. Once again, the tournament proved that Teqball is more than just a game – it’s a platform for growth, inclusion, and building lasting connections across Europe.
A huge thank you to all athletes, coaches, volunteers, partners and to FITEQ for making this event one to remember. We can’t wait to see what’s next!
