Asian Games 2026: Meet Teqball, the sport that could give India its first medal

Far from the shooting arenas, wrestling mats, and track and field, it is the arena with a curved table and a football that might deliver India’s first medal at the Asian Games.

The sport is Teqball, making its debut at the continental showpiece.

With Quimcy Dsouza in the women’s singles bronze medal match, and the pair of Quimcy and Md Anas in the mixed doubles bronze medal match, it is highly likely that India will open its medal count in Aichi-Nagoya with a Teqball medal.
