With the foundation of Sepak Takraw and careful investment, the Thai teqball team dominated the 2024 World Teqball Championship in the respect of strong opponents from Hungary, Brazil, Poland, Romania... Meanwhile, the Vietnamese teqball team is still young so they mainly participate in the tournament to test their strength, learn, and gain experience.
Thailand team won big at the 2024 Teqball World Championship in Ho Chi Minh City
Romania's Apor Gyorgydeak was the gold medalist in the men's singles while Hungary, the birthplace of teqball , did not win any gold medals. The Thai teqball team created a shock by winning 4 gold medals in the women's singles (Jutatip Kuntatong), women's doubles (Kuntatong/Suphawadi Wongkhamchan), men's doubles (Jirati Chanliang/Sorrasak Thaosiri) and mixed doubles (Wongkhamchan/Dejaroen).
Coach of the Vietnamese Teqball team Le Quang Khang said that the success of the Thai Teqball team was thanks to the use of Sepak Takraw techniques. The skillful handling, especially the kicking technique of Sepak Takraw when applied to Teqball is very effective. Most of the Thai Teqball team switched from Sepak Takraw.

Thailand, which is also the host of the 33rd SEA Games in 2025, has included teqball in the official competition schedule. With what they showed at this world championship in Ho Chi Minh City, the Thai teqball team will have no opponents at the next SEA Games. The Vietnamese teqball team can learn from Thailand's success because we also have a strong sepak takraw movement, having won the ASIAD gold medal.
After successfully hosting the world teqball championship, the International Teqball Federation (FITEQ) decided to give Ho Chi Minh City 1,000 teqball tables and a training package worth 5 million euros. This is an opportunity for Ho Chi Minh City in particular and Vietnam in general to develop a sport that has been around for only 10 years but is attractive and appealing to fans.
