History
editThe Tchoukball Association of the Philippines (TAP) was established in 2014 to promote the sport of tchoukball in the Philippines.[1] According to the Bacolod-based organization, the sport was introduced in the country.[2]
It would acquire full membership in the International Tchoukball Federation (FITB), an active membership in the Asia Pacific Tchoukball Federation (APTBF), and the Southeast Asia Tchoukball Federation.[1]
TAP would send both a men's and women's team at the 2017 World Beach Tchoukball Championships in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Both sides finished among the top ten in their respective divisions.[3]
In 2018, TAP became a member of the Philippine Olympic Committee[4][5] TAP would take part in the 2019 World Tchoukball Championships in Malaysia.[3]
The national teams would be placed under hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Tchoukball would return via the men's team participation in the 2022 Asia-Pacific Tchoukball Championship in Johor, Malaysia where it clinched qualification for the 2023 World Tchoukball Championships to be held in Prague, Czech Republic.[6][7] However they were forced to withdraw due to financial issues.[8]
