BODA has been actively promoting the emerging sport in China. On Sept 20, it partnered with FITEQ, Capital University of Physical Education and Sports, and the Beijing Teqball Association to establish the International Teqball Research Center, aiming to improve, develop and promote the sport.

According to Gao Yunchao, deputy director of BODA, Beijing now has nearly 40 teqball promotion bases, with almost 30,000 participants engaging in teqball activities throughout the year.

"The development of teqball in China is crucial, as it will impact the growth of the sport not just in Asia, but globally," said Gabor Borsanyi, president of FITEQ and one of the creators of the hybrid sport.

"FITEQ's goal is to make teqball an Olympic sport, and I believe that the development of teqball in China will accelerate the realization of this objective."
