Teqball has received another boost in its effort to be recognised around the world with the news that it is to be a demonstration sport at this year's African Beach Games and African Games.

The decision was taken by the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA) Executive Board during a meeting in Rabat.

ANOCA will also recommend to its next annual general meeting that teqball, a new football-based sport played on a curved table, is recognised by them and its members.

Since the sport's creation in Hungary’s capital Budapest just five years ago, the governing body claim it has spread to more than 42 countries worldwide.
