Karembeu, a 1998 World Cup winner, and Gallas, who starred for Chelsea., Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League, are both teqball ambassadors and play a key role in the global promotion of the sport.

Meanwhile, a crowd of passionate fans continue to enjoy teqball in the UEFA Festival fan zone next to Heroes’ Square in the Hungarian capital.

The fan zone is located at City Park Ice Rink and Boating, next to the iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Throughout the tournament, thousands of fans have played the football-based sport, with FITEQ leaders being thrilled to see people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities try the innovative and inclusive sport.

In addition to the teq tables, the fan zone had a wide-range of events, live music, food and screens showing matches.

Teqball’s co-founders commented: "It was a day that will last long in the memory and not just because of the result of the Hungary-France match! 

"To welcome Christian Karembeu and William Gallas to the home of teqball and watch such a thrilling football match with two sporting legends is very special for us. 

"They have both been incredible ambassadors over the past few years, helping us develop teqball into the world’s fastest growing sport.

"Christian and William will probably want to forget the result of the football quite quickly, but we hope they remember the energy and passion for teqball in Budapest, as it is something they have been, and will continue to be, a big part of."
