The championship promises exciting and competitive action, as athletes from across the country vie for the opportunity to wear the national colours at the World Teqball Championship.

Sports enthusiasts, stakeholders, and members of the public are expected to turn out en masse to witness the thrilling encounters and support the athletes.

The 2026 World Teqball Championship Qualifiers in Abia will not only be a celebration of sports but also a demonstration of Governor Otti’s resolve to reposition Abia State as a destination for major sporting events in Nigeria and beyond.
