Teqball, the popular soccer like sport with a presence globally in 150+ countries and with Teqball tables across all 50 states — has found huge popularity across the United States and among professional and celebrity fans including Messi, Neymar, Ronaldinho, David Beckham, Mauro Icardi, Eden Hazard, Justin Bieber, and Adam Levine.
Teqball USA, the fastest growing global soccer-based sport, which is perfectly suitable for professional soccer players as well as amateur enthusiasts whose ambition is to develop their skills, hosted the second Los Angeles tournament of the 2023 season in Venice Beach, Ca. in late February.
The tournament kicked off on Friday, Feb 24th where 56 teams (15 countries represented in including USA, Columbia, Armenia, Hungary, Serbia, Brazil, Poland, Romania, Argentina, Italy, Portugal, France, Uruguay, Mexico and Peru) competed for the top spots in Women’s Doubles (WD), Men’s Doubles (MD), and Mixed Doubles (MD).
After 2 days of group stage games, the home team Greco (BellaTeq founder, ranked 3rd In the world in WD) and Osmundson (BellaTeq founder, ranked 4th In the world in WD) took on the away team, Amelie Julian (France, ranked 23rd In the world in WD) and Gabriella Kota (HUN, ranked 11th In the world in WD). Greco and Osmundson held onto their undefeated title taking home the top prize. The lethal combination of Osmundson’s incredible defense and Greco’s acrobatic smashes, led to two back-to-back sets in which the duo played proficient and mistake-free Teqball.
The Women’s final was followed by The Mixed Doubles Finals and the The Men’s doubles final – both matchups were won by top ranked international teams.
- Mixed doubles winners: Csaba Banyik and Amelie Julian
