Ghana will host some of Africa’s finest teqball talents this week as the 2026 Africa Teqball Championship takes centre stage in Accra from November 13 to 14.
The two-day competition, featuring eight teams, is expected to bring together top players from across the continent to compete for continental supremacy while showcasing their technical ability, athleticism and skills in the fast-growing sport.
Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Zambia, Sierra Leone, Benin and Senegal are among the participating nations.
The opening day's competition will take place at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, November 13, while the second day of action will be staged at the Osu Presby Church compound on Saturday, November 14.
Teqball combines elements of football and table tennis, with players competing on a specially curved table using a standard football. The sport can be played in singles or doubles, with participants allowed to use any part of their bodies except their hands and arms to return the ball.
Each player or team is allowed a maximum of three touches to send the ball across the net, making ball control, precision and quick reactions essential to success.
President of Teqball Ghana, Kwadwo Baah Agyemang, said the championship presents an opportunity not only to showcase African sporting talent but also to strengthen continental ties, inspire a new generation of players and raise Ghana's profile on the international teqball stage.
With preparations underway, Accra is set to welcome competitors from across the continent for two days of exciting action as Ghana hosts the continental championship.
