Invented in Hungary, teqball combines elements of football with a curved table. The sport can broadly be described as a blend of freestyle football and sepak takraw, played on a curved, table tennis-style surface.



Gonsalves and Beg are already World Championships medallists, having secured India's first-ever medal in teqball with a men's doubles bronze at the 2024 edition in Vietnam.




Drawn in Group B of the men's doubles competition, the pair will play two matches on Thursday at the Nagoya City Higashi Sports Centre.

The Indian pair will open against Vietnam's Truong Giang Ba and Anh Khoa Le at 12:30 PM IST before taking on the Republic of Korea's Junsuk Lee and Taebeen Lee at 1:00 PM IST.
