High-ranking officials of the International Teqball Federation (FITEQ) welcomed World Ethnosport Confederation (WEC) President Necmeddin Bilal Erdoğan at its headquarters in Budapest.

FITEQ President Gábor Borsányi, chairman Viktor Huszár, and head of diplomatic relations and corporate social responsibility Gergely Murányi were present to greet the Turkish national.

The WEC, an international institution based in Istanbul, seeks to safeguard, promote and popularise traditional sports and games in several regions, including Turkic, Central Asian, Anatoliam, Japanese and Middle Eastern.

This is to ensure they remain culturally important.

"It was a pleasure to meet with Mr Necmeddin Bilal Erdoğan, to discuss the important work done by the WEC, and explain our strategic goals for teqball," Borsányi said.

"We are excited to work together and collaboratively grow teqball in the region."
