At ASIAD 20, Teqball was included in the competition program for the first time. This sport uses a soccer ball but competes on a dedicated curved table, the net is divided in half on the table. Athletes can use their feet, head, chest or shoulders to move the ball to the opponent's court and are not allowed to use their hands.
Each side can touch the ball a maximum of 3 times before passing the ball over the net. Players must also not touch the ball twice in a row with the same body part. Therefore, in addition to ball handling techniques, players need to be able to predict the direction of the ball and coordinate quickly.
On September 20, in Teqball, the Vietnamese sports delegation also won the first bronze medal at ASIAD 20 when Nguyen Hoang Minh Tan and Trinh Gia Nghi surpassed the Indian pair in the mixed doubles event.
