History

The Teqball World Championships was first organized as the Teqball World Cup. The inaugural edition was held in Hungary in July 2017. This was followed by a tournament in Reims, France, the following year. In 2019, the tournament, now under its current name, returned to Hungary.^[1]

In 2020, the World Championship was not held due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[2] The annual competition would be held again from 2021.^[3]
