The first para teqball club in Tunisia was established during a Paralympic Day (20th November 2021) in the city of Tozeur, in the southwest of the country.

The Paralympic Day was organised by the Tunisian Paralympic Committee, with the Tunisian Teqball Federation supporting with the para teqball activities. A Teq table was donated by FITEQ to kickstart the newly-formed club’s para teqball journey. 

Tunisia is one of Africa’s fastest growing tebqall countries, with men’s singles player Yassine Sahli, ranked 10th in the world, acting as a role model for aspiring young players. Sahli reached the quarter-finals of the 2021 Teqball World Championships men’s singles competition, where he lost to the eventual champion Adam Blazsovics.
