Flamengo will be well represented at the first Teqball Tour held in Latin America. The professional world circuit will take place in Rio de Janeiro from September 7th to 10th, and is aligned with the movement to make the sport an Olympic sport.


Natalia Guitler, Teqball World Champion, will compete for "Mais Querido" and says she trains three to four times a week to achieve the best possible result in the competition. According to Guitler, the feeling of competing in Rio de Janeiro, her hometown, is unique, and it's also an opportunity to introduce the sport to more people. "I'm very excited and hopeful about the possibility of seeing Teqball at the 2028 Olympic Games," she comments.


Organized by the Fédération Internationale de TEQBALL (FITEQ), in partnership with the Brazilian Teqball Confederation, the Teqball Tour will award $30 to competitors who reach the quarterfinals. The competition will feature 117 athletes, 76 men and 41 women, from 17 countries. Admission to the event is free.


The first three days of competition will take place at Arena Carioca 1 in the Barra da Tijuca Olympic Park. The final, on the final day, will be held on the sands of Copacabana Beach, in front of the Copacabana Palace.
