Mexico hosts her first international Teqball event

Mexico kicks-off the 8 days long non-stop Teqball series in the last month of the summer.

With 42 athletes representing 8 countries from 3 continents in four categories, Mexico City will start on August 15th the eight-day non-stop Teqball competitions.

August became the hottest month of 2025 for Teqball. Altogether seven championships will be held, and an eight-day span kicks off in Mexico with the Teqball International Tournament Mexico 2025. Only a day later, the third stop of the Adriatic Teqball League, this weekend in Sarajevo, comes, then the sport’s first European Youth Teqball Championships. During the week, Teqball Open – Balatonboglar provide matches for the followers, then the 2025 edition of Challenger Teqball League closes the non-stop Teqball action in Santarém, Portugal. The last event in August is in Miercurea Ciuc, Romania, with the second stop of the GOBEK Teqball Tournament – Csikszereda.

Back in Mexico, the Mexican Teqball Federation offers 2,800 USD for prize money in four categories. The field of 24 athletes in men’s singles includes many new faces as well as seasoned veterans. Matheus Ferraz (BRA) is a world silver medallist (in men’s doubles), while the highest-seeded local player, Aaron Servin, finished second at the Canadian Teqball Tournament. He lost to Milan Zsibok in the final, who gathered his first international triumph on home turf. Jose Ricardo Oviedo Amortegui (COL) also had a historic event in 2025 after he got the victory at the Teqball Open – Popayán as his first international trophy. 

In women’s singles, the winner of the Canadian Teqball Tournament, Kindall Kaufmann (USA), is one of the favourites. Laura Catalina Gomez Bulla (COL), who doubled in Popayán (WD, XD), and Patricia Mayara Nardy (BRA), with multiple medals from doubles considered Kaufmann’s biggest rivals. 

Ferraz and the three-time world silver medallist in mixed doubles, Leonardo Lindoso de Almeida (BRA), joined forces once again in men’s doubles after their silver at Teqball Open – Parana. They and the twosome of Oviedo Amortegui/Joshua Bello (COL) are expected to face each other in the finals; however, Leonardo Santana (BRA)/Dennis Correia and Servin/Zsibok are both eager to finish on the podium. Knowing the skillset of the South American athletes, many relatively unknown prospects can cause surprises. 

It is hard to predict the outcome of the mixed doubles. The Brazilians, Nardy/Lindo de Almeida, are the most decorated ones, although Santana/Gomez Bulla can be dangerous. The third spot is open for the rest of the field.

In three days, Mexico City will become the hub of the Americas in Teqball and start a unique row of events in the sport.
