The committees will provide advice to help develop teqball and Para teqball globally.

"This is a major step in the development of our sport and we are really looking forward to hearing new ideas from a wide range of industry experts," said Marius Vizer Jr, FITEQ general secretary.

"We have chosen to have relatively a small number of members on each committee as we believe this will ensure the discussions lead to specific and targeted action.

"Furthermore, we are delighted to have gender equality on our committees, which will help drive our efforts to be an inclusive sport."

The newly formed bodies include the Legal Affairs Committee, Sport Development Committee, Technical and Coaching Committee, and the Women’s Committee.

The FITEQ has also formed the Para Sport Committee, CSR and Sport and Active Society Committee, and Athlete Status and Transfer Committee.
