Moshood Abiola National Stadium Abuja Velodrome to host Teqball World Championship Qualifier
The 2023 National Teqball Championship slated for Kwara State from September 16th to 24th, 2023 has been rescheduled for Velodrome, Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja from 21st to 24th September 2023 after the Executive Board of the Nigeria Teqball Federation withdrew the hosting right from Kwara State Teqball Association.
The decision to withdraw the hosting right from the Association on the eve of the championship became imperative based on evidence of lack of capacity demonstrated by the Kwara State Teqball Association as a result of the lack of support from the Kwara State Sports Commission by extension as project partners.
In a statement signed by the General Secretary of the Federation Mr. Ndudi Edede on Tuesday 12th September 2023, the secretariat had to intervene to take back the championship in her bid to protect the image and reputation of the Nigeria Teqball Federation, (NIGTEQ) as well as Teqball as the fastest growing sports globally.
The event will serve as the qualifier for the 2023 Teqball World Championship slated to be held in Bangkok, Thailand from November 29th to December 03, 2023.
“Returning the event to Abuja will give our major partners like the Embassy of Hungary in Abuja, the Ministry of Sports Development and Corporate bodies the opportunity to witness the development and progress of Teqball in Nigeria” he stated.
Mr. Ndudi added, “We hope to improve on our last outing in Asaba, Delta State earlier in the year and the performance of our Athletes during the 2nd African Beach Games in Hamammet, Tunisia”.
Athletes, Coaches, and Referees are expected to arrive in Abuja on Wednesday 20th September 2023 at the National Institute of Sports Hostel facilities at Package B of the Moshood Abiola National Stadium Abuja.

Rather than reschedule his bout against Parker, International Boxing Federation (IBF) champion Dubois had hoped for a return clash with Usyk, who defeated the Briton by ninth-round knockout in August 2023.
Dubois re-established himself in the heavyweight ranks with stoppage wins over Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic before most recently knocking out compatriot Anthony Joshua, himself a former world champion, at Wembley in September to take his professional record to 22 wins, with two losses and 21 knockouts.
The 27-year-old Dubois was understood to be in talks to face Usyk in a fight that would see all four major world heavyweight titles up for grabs but the WBO’s announcement has complicated the picture in a sport where the lack of a single global governing body means there are often multiple world champions in the same weight class.
