The International Teqball Federation (FITEQ) held "productive" meetings on a visit to Trinidad and Tobago.

Agota Skrapics, the continental development manager at FITEQ, visited the country's Sports Industry Conference which attracted more than 150 people.

Skrapics featured in a panel discussion entitled "Sport is a High Profile Global Business" and then met with Brian Lewis, the President of the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC).

Lewis attended the 2019 Teqball World Championships in Budapest, with a demonstration of the sport following the meetings in a public park.

FITEQ said it plans to continue its collaboration with the TTOC, with the hope of setting-up a national federation.

"I would like to thank FITEQ for joining us at our successful Sport Industry Conference," said Lewis.

"After attending the 2019 Teqball World Championships in Budapest, I was delighted to see FITEQ's focus and dedication to gender equality in teqball.

"Seeing so many male and female players from around the world playing together, and against each other, highlighted the global potential of this exciting sport.

"There is a great appetite for teqball here in Trinidad and Tobago and I expect the growth of the sport to go from strength to strength in the years ahead."
