Title: St. Pauli chases five Teqball titles in Wandsbek at the weekend!

St Pauli, Deutschland - This coming weekend everything is all about tea ball in Hamburg. FC St. Pauli, who has made a name for himself in this sport, goes to the tournament in Wandsbek and plans to win five titles with great ambitions. The neutral sport that combines football and table tennis on a arched table has gained attractiveness in recent years and is attracting more and more players: inside.

The event will take place on Saturday, June 15th, in the Wandsbek sports hall (Rüterstraße), where the first games start from 10 a.m., while the finals will be held on Sunday from 2 p.m. Around 50 active people from the Teqball department of FC St. Pauli will start, whereby the goal is clear: to establish teqball as a popular sport in the region.

insight into the German championship

FC St. Pauli already impressively presented itself at the German Championships last year when the team dominated almost all competition categories. This weekend Diego Gollub and Jon Nielsen defend their title in men's double. The team of the team also includes Daytona Hansen, who is recognized as three-time German champion and displays her famous "folding knife" game train.

In 2024, FC St. Pauli won four championship titles and several medals and thus firmly established itself in the German Teqball landscape. Jon Nielsen, who reached the final in the men's singles last year and lost there against Max Hunfeld, also hopes for a successful course of this weekend.

Teqball - The sport in the upswing

Teqball is becoming increasingly popular, and this is not least the merit of regional initiatives such as that from Altona, where a new Teqball table near the Ottensen S-Bahn station is installed. This promotes the accessibility of the sport, which can be played in doubles by 2 single players or 4 players. The rules are very simple: each player can touch the ball up to three times before it is played back. Points are scored when the opponent is no longer able to play the ball back.

International competitions such as the Teqball World Cup, organized by the Fédération Internationale de Teqball (FiteQ), provide further boost. The Cup is organized in various cities annually, and with the accession Teqballs to the competition program of the European Games 2023, the sport has also become less important in the international area. But despite these international successes, the focus remains on the local support of talents. That is why FC St. Pauli is also looking for new players: inside for his youth team aged 12 to 16 years.

The next weekend could bring a crucial turn to the Teqball landscape in Hamburg. We are excited to see how the FC St. Pauli team works in the heated competition!
