The International Federation of Teqball (FITEQ) has wished the 24 individuals from National Teqball Federations travelling to Tokyo for the Olympic and Paralympic Games a successful trip.

They will all be attending as representatives of various National Olympic Committees and National Paralympic Committees.

Among them is Gamini Jayasinghe, Sri Lanka's Chef de Mission for the Olympics.

Jayasinghe is President of Teq Sri Lanka.

FITEQ’s President Gábor Borsányi and chairman Viktor Huszár, the co-founders and inventors of teqball, are also heading to Tokyo.

In a joint message of hope and solidarity, they spoke of their excitement ahead of the Games.

The pair also reiterated their hope the sport can be involved in future Olympics.

"The Olympic and Paralympic Games is the ultimate sporting stage, where the most talented athletes from all five continents unite the world through a celebration of our shared passion," Borsányi and Huszár said.

"It's an honour to have so many members of the teqball family playing a key role in their country’s Olympic and Paralympic experience and FITEQ wishes them all the best of luck.

"It will be truly magical to witness the Games in Tokyo and envisage our own dream of teqball and para teqball one day being part of these incredible sporting events.

"We look forward to seeing our friends in Japan, where we will of course share the exciting news from the teqball world, but most importantly show our support to the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee and their partners in Japan for staging the Games in such testing circumstances."

The Tokyo 2020 Opening Ceremony takes place on Friday (July 23).

The Closing Ceremony is on August 8.

The Paralympics are then scheduled to be held from August 24 to September 5.

FITEQ was established as teqball's governing body in 2017.

The fast-growing sport will appear at the 2023 European Games in Kraków-Małopolska, as well as the next Asian Beach Games in Sanya.
