Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 30 July 2024: Are you a football enthusiast looking to spice up your game? For an exciting blend of athleticism and strategy, look no further than Teqball. This rapidly growing sport combines the fast-paced action of football with the tactical precision of table tennis, in a dynamic, low-impact activity suitable for all ages and skill levels.

Every summer, Dubai Sports World offers new sports, events and attractions to Dubai’s community during the three-month-long sporting event spread across 300,000 sq ft of indoor, air-conditioned space at Dubai World Trade Centre.  This year, Teqball, sponsored by Admiral World Sports is making its debut. Played on a specially curved table that resembles a table tennis table, the sport requires players to use any part of their body except their hands and arms to return the ball. This unique setup enhances coordination, agility, and strategic thinking. With elements of football, table tennis, and volleyball, Teqball is a versatile and engaging experience that challenges both physical and mental abilities.

The game is played with a standard, size-5 soccer ball, and the convex table adds an extra layer of difficulty, requiring precise control and quick reflexes. Points are scored by outmanoeuvring your opponent and landing the ball on their side of the table. With rules that are simple yet challenging, it’s easy to pick up, but hard to master. This blend of accessibility and depth is part of what makes Teqball so appealing.

Teqball’s arrival at Dubai Sports World gives everyone in the city an opportunity to explore this new and dynamic sport. As Dubai Sports World runs all through the summer, right up until 8 September, there’s ample time to dive into the Teqball action and improve those coordination and agility skills.

While traditional team sports like football, rugby, and cricket may be out of reach for some of us, Teqball is a more inclusive alternative. It’s a great way to spend time with friends, family, or colleagues, fostering teamwork. The stress-busting benefits of sport are well documented, and Teqball is no exception. The game’s fast pace and strategic depth provide a mentally stimulating and physically invigorating workout, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to stay active and healthy.

Teqball can significantly improve cardiovascular health, the constant movement and quick changes in direction provide an excellent cardio workout, raising your heart rate and boosting overall fitness. The sport also enhances muscle strength and bone density, thanks to the varied physical demands of the game. Additionally, the need for precise control and quick reactions sharpens coordination and reflexes.

Beyond physical fitness, Teqball offers mental health benefits. The strategic nature of the game stimulates mental agility, requiring players to think quickly and adapt to every move. This mental engagement can help to reduce stress and anxiety. What’s more, the community environment at Dubai Sports World, is a great way to meet new people and build an active fitness-focused network.
