Teqball in Zaatari Refugee Camp

International Teqball Federation and Peace and Sport

In April 2018, FITEQ signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Peace and Sport, an international, neutral and independent organisation based in Monaco that contributes to peace using the power of sport.


The MoU was signed in Zaatari Refugee Camp in Jordan, where Peace and Sport run the inspiring Live Together programme. Upon the signing of the MoU, both organisations confirmed their intention to join forces to promote teqball as a tool for social development and equality.


Two Teq tables were donated to the citizens of Zaatari Refugee Camp, which is Jordan’s fourth biggest city. Residents there had the opportunity to play on the tables and receive two days of training.

American Samoa & Samoa Fencing develops, thanks to FIE donations

The fencing federations of American Samoa and Samoa, beneficiaries of the 2018 International Fencing Federation (FIE) Donate Your Fencing Gear! program, have actively been developing fencing in their region. As reported by the federations, using the FIE-donated equipment, they have increased numbers of overall fencers as well as enabled experienced athletes to participate in higher-level competitions. The gear received by the Samoan federations included a variety of donations in multiple sizes, including smaller items (that are harder to come by). This has given the federations the ability to offer fencing to younger children, giving them a head-start in becoming successful athletes. The donated equipment has effectively raised the overall safety standards of fencing gear being used in practice and competition.

IFF stick with it!

For 15 years, the International Floorball Federation (IFF) has run a sports development programme, shipping 30,000 brand new floorball sticks to countries most in need of sports equipment. In spring 2019, while exploring potential improvements to the programme, the IFF realised that its events led to the disposal of large quantities of sports equipment which could actually be reused or recycled – inspiring the launch of the new Stick with It! initiative.
