Teqball federation votes to join PNG Olympic Committee

THE national federation of Teqball was voted in as a member of the Papua New Olympic Committee (PNGOC) during its annual general assembly in Port Moresby on Saturday.
“Proud and privileged,” TeqPNG president Percy Mataio said after receiving their PNGOC membership.
Despite its recent establishment in the country, TeqPNG had applied for membership after fulfilling all the requirements, including having a constitution, a strategic plan and being a certified association registered with the Investment Promotion Authority.
TeqPNG’s PNGOC membership came after it became a recognised national federation with the international federation responsible for teqball, Fiteq, at the Fiteq world general assembly last year.
TeqPNG is one of 114 teqball national federations from around the world and one of seven within Oceania.
Teqball’s global growth has come in the last seven years since it was introduced to the world in 2014, laying claim to being the fastest-growing sport in the world with more than 1,000 registered clubs and 4,000 athletes and over five million followers on social media.
Clubs and those interested in playing or supporting teqball can get in touch with TeqPNG through their social media pages or email [email protected].
