St. Pauli is fighting for five Teqball titles – Spectacle Tower in Wandsbek!

What an exciting weekend awaits FC St. Pauli! Next Saturday and Sunday the fight for the Teqball title will take place in the Wandsbek sports hall. The team has big plans and plans to win five championships. That's what she reports MOPO.

Teqball, an exciting combination of football and table tennis, is winning more and more hearts in Germany. The playing surface is a curved table (Teqboard), which ensures dynamic play because the ends of the table are lower than the middle. Players are allowed to touch the ball up to three times before it reaches the opponent's table surface. For FC St. Pauli, Teqball is not just a sporting commitment, but also an opportunity to establish the sport more strongly in popular sports Millernton.

The defending champions and challenges

The defending champions Diego Gollub and Jon Nielsen have big plans for the men's doubles. Already in 2024, FC St. Pauli brought home four of five possible Teqball titles. This year the team would like to build on these successes. However, it will not be an easy challenge, because Max Hunfeld from AC DingDong Hannover is proving to be a serious opponent in the men's singles, where he was able to win the title in 2024.

In the world of Teqball, FC St. Pauli's athletes shine: 20 players are lined up for all six competition categories. At the last championships, almost all categories were won except for the youth tournament and the men's singles. Daytona Hansen, three-time German champion, was able to triumph in the women's category last year after her final opponent had to withdraw due to injury.

Tension in the air

What awaits the audience is a festival of excitement. In the mixed competition there were close decisions in the group phase. The finals on Sunday from 2 p.m. also promise entertainment at a high level. Fans can look forward to exciting matches, and newcomers to the Teqball world are warmly invited to cheer on the athletes.

A special highlight is the equipment of the new Teqball table, which is now available in a playground near the Ottensen S-Bahn station in Altona. This table will help spread the sport and encourage future talent. Enthusiastic new players are welcome for the FC St. Pauli youth team (12 to 16 years old).

The popularity of Teqball is increasing, even if the sport is still on a small scale. FC St. Pauli has shown that great things can be achieved with commitment and team spirit. The path to establishing Teqball as a valued popular sport in Germany has only just begun and the upcoming tournament puts the spotlight on this path.

So prepare for an exciting weekend and accompany the FC St. Pauli athletes on their way to new titles! Sports enthusiasts are sure to find their place in the Wandsbek sports hall, where the Teqball ceremony begins. Who knows, maybe we will experience great moments and new top performances from talented actors.
