Re: Cambodia to host SEA Games in March 2023
Fast-rising Teqball crashes Southeast Asian Games
Issued on: 07/05/2023 - 20:38Modified: 08/05/2023 - 02:15
Phnom Penh (AFP) – As teqball continues its fast growth with its debut at the Southeast Asian Games, the young sport has drawn resentful glances from similar sports in the region that feel it is treading on their turf.
Invented in Hungary in 2012, teqball is a non-medal exhibition sport at this year's SEA Games in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, being played over three days with the finals on Monday. It is also on the schedule for the European Games in Poland in June and July.
Teqball already has more than 140 national federations, leading its backers to call it "the fastest-growing sport in the world".
Top international football teams including Spain and Portugal bond over games of teqball during downtime, and stars such as Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho have become ambassadors for the game.
Played on a curved table, it melds elements of football, volleyball and ping-pong. Players -– alone or in pairs –- trade shots without using their arms. The catch is they cannot use the same body part twice consecutively.
"In Europe, North America, South America, it's more developed than in Asia," said Marton Keresztury, from governing body Fiteq. "So here, it's just starting slowly."

Re: Cambodia to host SEA Games in March 2023
@ali baba I was quoting an article from the AFP, but since you ask, I would expect that they are refering to the traditional national Asian team sports, such as chinlone, that might feel that they are losing ground to Teqball, a more telegenic sports favored by younger people .

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
