This came out on the official website yesterday. Updated list of events and competition schedules in Japanese.
Padel and Teqball are on the schedules. Looks like two events for Padel and five for Teqball.

On the sports programme PDF, Padel is #25 and Teqball is #38.
looks like the agreement is the international federations are in fact hosting the event, not the AG organizers, so everything is up to them to make it happen.
Teqball is now confirmed to have 5 events (singles and doubles) does it mean easy 5 gold medals for Thailand ?
Padel is not 100% confirmed yet. I assume there are still talks ongoing between the IF and the Japanese organizers.
I feel like this year's Eurovision is more wide open than ever 😂
There isn't a clear favorite, and that makes everything more exciting. Finland is looking strong, sure, but Ukraine always knows how to surprise people and connect with them. I was checking out the odds a bit, and I was struck by how quickly they're rising.
By the way, I found a site that compares the odds pretty clearly:

It’s nothing special, but it gives you an idea of how things are shaping up before the semifinals. Although we all know how this goes… at Eurovision, everything can change in a matter of minutes
Learned that Tigst Assefa in London also lowered the women-only Women's Marathon time. (I learned they have a women-only record, and a mixed record, to avoid pacemakers...also nevermind that she was running along with other men in the men's marathon, which had started first.)
