Teqball grows more than skills in Sierra Leone

Teqball in Sierra Leone unites players through sport, farming, and community growth.

In Sierra Leone, Teqball is doing more than just bending balls—it’s bending expectations. The local Teqball athletes have found a unique way to blend sport and sustainability by combining their passion for Teqball with a commitment to farming.

Yes, you read that right: these athletes do not just train on the court—they grow their own food off it.

“We not only play Teqball,” said Alhaji Muctar Kargbo, one of the players who attended the latest World Teqball Championships 2024 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. “We also farm. We do not just depend on buying food from the market—we grow what we eat, especially during our training sessions.”

In a world where sports often exist separate from daily life, the Teqball community in Sierra Leone proves that the game can be much more. Teqball is more than a sport, it is a lifestyle, a community-builder, and even a source of nourishment.

Across Africa, this is not the first time Teqball has sown seeds of change, literally and figuratively. From village gatherings to national competitions, Teqball continues to unite people from all walks of life, creating bonds that grow as strong as the crops they cultivate.

In Sierra Leone, a simple match becomes a celebration of teamwork, resilience, and self-reliance. Teqball provides joy—and food. Teqball helps communities grow, both in number and in spirit. And for many, Teqball is not just about scoring points—it is about planting roots.
