For the International Table Volleyball Federation, organizing this tournament in Badalona represents a unique opportunity to promote this exciting sport in Spain.
ITVF President Gabor Borsanyi expressed his enthusiasm for bringing the first international TEQVOLY event to Badalona and highlighted the importance of the Catalan sports community in the success of the tournament.
What exactly is TEQVOLY?
This sport, which grew out of the popular Teqball, combines elements of volleyball with a curved table similar to table tennis. Players compete in pairs, hitting the ball from side to side with only their forearms and hands. Fast and dynamic, TEQVOLY promises an exciting experience for players and spectators alike.
Although Badalona will host the first table volleyball tournament in Spain, the sport can be played indoors and outdoors, making it a versatile option for table volleyball enthusiasts across the country.

Badalona has been chosen as the venue for this inaugural event and Gabor Borsanyi, president of the International Table Volleyball Federation, highlighting Catalonia’s relationship with the sport and its reputation as a sports epicenter, the organization aims to build a community around TEQVOLY.
