A group of sporting instructors, led by Márton Keresztúry and Zoltán Gondos, staged a series of meetings with key stakeholders, participated in training sessions for young players, coaches and referees, and aided the delivery of a school competition.

The Panama Olympic Committee, which recognises teqball as an official sport, and the country’s National Federation also met with members of the visiting FITEQ team.

Their meetings involved FITEQ supporting the two organisations in developing a corporate social responsibility programme centred on sustainability through sport.

Other events included the delegation holding a presentation covering the benefits of teqball and the opportunities to compete nationally and internationally, teqball training sessions in schools as well as a competition where 70 children participated.

Education courses for coach and referees, which was based on theory and practical elements, ran alongside the activities, attended by around 35 people each day.

"Over the past few years, our focus as a federation has been on building the foundations that will support the long-term and sustainable growth of teqball and para teqball in Panama," Mónica Franco Luzcando, the Panama Teqball President, said.

"Working in collaboration with FITEQ, we have developed the necessary infrastructure, created educational programmes, and made it our mission to give everyone in Panama the opportunity to play the sport.

"The visit of the FITEQ sport instructors has given our journey further impetus and we will look to use this momentum in the months ahead."
