FITEQ statement on cancellation of Nasielsk Challenger Cup 2020

FITEQ will continue to follow the medical advice provided by the WHO and remains in close contact with all Organising Committees of upcoming FITEQ events.

The International Teqball Federation (FITEQ) regards the safety and well-being of athletes, officials, spectators and the wider population as its number one priority when organising international sporting events.

FITEQ has therefore been in close contact with all Local Organising Committees following the outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and has been diligent in following the most up to date advice from the World Health Organization (WHO).

In light of this, FITEQ has today received confirmation from the Foundation for the Development of Polish Sport (Organising Committee) that the Challenger Cup scheduled for 7 March in Nasielsk, Poland has regrettably been cancelled.

FITEQ is working closely with the Organising Committee to consider all options, including a potential rescheduling and will provide further information as soon as possible. FITEQ will continue to follow the medical advice provided by the WHO and remains in close contact with all Organising Committees of upcoming FITEQ events. Measures that ensure events are safe for all involved will continue to be implemented and FITEQ will update all stakeholders on any further developments related to cancellations accordingly.
