International Competitions
TBAS is committed to raising the standard of our national teams by taking part in overseas tournaments regularly.
Our long term goal is to have a world-class national team capable of competing at the top level. The International Tchoukball Federation (FITB) organises the World Tchoukball Championships and the Continental Tchoukball Championships every alternate year.
Hopefully Singapore will win the right to host the SEA Games 2015 and Tchoukball can be featured as one of the sports so that we can win both gold medals for Singapore.
Singapore is currently ranked number 3 in the world and number 2 in Asia, behind Chinese Taipei, the World Champion. 9 out of 11 ASEAN countries play Tchoukball so we really hope for Tchoukball to be included in SEA Games 2015.
