A unique feature of the Euro Village are the two sports demonstrations: teqball and mollky.
Teqball is a football-based sport, played on a specially-curved table, which is attracting a new generation of athletes and enthusiasts called “teqers”. Created in Hungary in 2012, teqball is a gender-equitable game, as it can be played between two (singles) or four players (doubles), irrespective of gender.
The sport follows a points-based scoring format and can be played on various surfaces such as sand, acrylic or indoors. It allows players a maximum of three touches before returning the ball to the opponent, so if you can juggle a football three times, you will excel at teqball. Teqball was invented in Hungary by three football enthusiasts: former professional player Gábor Borsányi; Hungarian businessman György Gattyán; and computer scientist Viktor Huszár.
From the Embassy of Finland, you will get the chance to learn about Mölkky, a Finnish throwing game with characteristics similar to games like bowling, kubb and pétanque.
It was created by the company Lahden Paikka – formerly known as Tuoterengas – in 1996. It was probably inspired by the Finnish word pölkky, which means block of wood. Mölkky is a game that requires both skill and precision, but also a strategical mindset!
Today, Mölkky tournaments are played all over the world. There is also a Mölkky World Championship (with around 200 teams of 4 to 6 players participating) organized every year.
