Montenegrin town Bijelo Polje hosted a teqball tournament called TEQ Bijelo Polje on April 8 to mark International Roma Day in addition to promoting the sport in the area.
News outlet CDM reports that one member of the eight teams in the competition, organised by the Centre for Sports and Recreation and the Teqball Federation of Montenegro, was from the Roma population to show the significance of Roma inclusion in social activities.
Members of the Montenegrin Second League team FK Jedinstvo and FK Borac, who compete in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, participated in a variety of activities.
One of these other events was called “master of dribbling”.
Leo Dibrani and Amar Kanalić won the main competition after beating Mateo Selimović and Bogdan Korać in the finals.
Taking third were Imeri Adrijan and Lazar Grandov, while Jasmin Šahman and Aldin Klapija finished fourth.
Alongside this, organisers looked to include children by staging several activities as well as provided other entertainment through hip-hop duo Gianni and Eni.
Once the events at the teqball tournament concluded proceedings moved to the small settlement of Strojtanica to further celebrate International Roma Day by non-sporting methods, including a music competition.

For nearly 15 years now, insidethegames.biz has been at the forefront of reporting fearlessly on what happens in the Olympic Movement. As the first website not to be placed behind a paywall, we have made news about the International Olympic Committee, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Commonwealth Games and other major events more accessible than ever to everybody.
insidethegames.biz has established a global reputation for the excellence of its reporting and breadth of its coverage. For many of our readers from more than 200 countries and territories around the world the website is a vital part of their daily lives. The ping of our free daily email alert, sent every morning at 6.30am UK time 365 days a year, landing in their inbox, is as a familiar part of their day as their first cup of coffee.
Even during the worst times of the COVID-19 pandemic, insidethegames.biz maintained its high standard of reporting on all the news from around the globe on a daily basis. We were the first publication in the world to signal the threat that the Olympic Movement faced from the coronavirus and have provided unparalleled coverage of the pandemic since.
As the world begins to emerge from the COVID crisis, insidethegames.biz would like to invite you to help us on our journey by funding our independent journalism. Your vital support would mean we can continue to report so comprehensively on the Olympic Movement and the events that shape it. It would mean we can keep our website open for everyone. Last year, nearly 25 million people read insidethegames.biz, making us by far the biggest source of independent news on what is happening in world sport.
Every contribution, however big or small, will help maintain and improve our worldwide coverage in the year ahead. Our small and dedicated team were extremely busy last year covering the re-arranged Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, an unprecedented logistical challenge that stretched our tight resources to the limit.
2022 is not going to be any less busy, or less challenging. We have the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing, where we are sending a team of four reporters, the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, the Summer World University and Asian Games in China, the World Games in Alabama and multiple World Championships. Plus, of course, there is the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Unlike many others, insidethegames.biz is available for everyone to read, regardless of what they can afford to pay. We do this because we believe that sport belongs to everybody, and everybody should be able to read information regardless of their financial situation. While others try to benefit financially from information, we are committed to sharing it with as many people as possible. The greater the number of people that can keep up to date with global events, and understand their impact, the more sport will be forced to be transparent.
