Abstract:The 2026 “Chengmai Coffee” Cup National Boules City-Village Competition (Hainan Stop) will be held from 16 to 18 October at Fushan Coffee Town in Chengmai County. Contestants in the pairs petanque event range from 10 to 80 years old, with a top prize of RMB 3,000 and free entry.

Chengmai, 12 October (People’s Daily Online, reporter Li Xueshan) — The event is a key sport and culture brand under “Cultural Chengmai: Twelve Movements”, with a top championship prize of RMB 3,000. Using a national grassroots competition as its vehicle, it connects Chengmai’s characteristic resources — coffee, agarwood and selenium-rich Fushan oranges — and explores an integrated model of sport, incense culture, coffee, tourism and rural revitalisation, showcasing the results of Chengmai’s agriculture-culture-tourism-sport integration.

The competition is organised by the Small Ball Sports Management Centre of the General Administration of Sport of China and the Chinese Boules Association, hosted by the Hainan Boules Association, and co-organised by the Hainan Senior Citizens Sports Association, the Chengmai County Bureau of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sport, the Fushan Town People’s Government and the Chengmai Fushan Coffee Culture Town Management Committee. It is an important step in the Chinese Boules Association’s effort to bring boules down to cities and villages and improve the grassroots competition system.

The event is a doubles petanque competition open to all genders, with registration open to senior sports associations, city and county teams, universities, clubs and enthusiasts nationwide. Competitors range from 10 to 80 years old. International students from Hainan University, local Taiwan-funded enterprise teams and grassroots village and town teams will compete side by side.

Entry is free. Registered players receive a sports bag, a water bottle, an umbrella and a Chengmai coffee gift pack. Prize money is RMB 3,000 for the champion, RMB 2,000 for the runner-up and RMB 1,500 for third place; places four to eight receive tiered prizes, and places nine to sixteen receive coffee gifts. Awards for sportsmanship and organisation are also presented.

The competition follows the Chinese Boules Association’s latest rules, using single-elimination with electronic draws to fix pairings. For minors and elderly players there are safety undertakings, medical checks and accident insurance covering all participants. The schedule is: check-in, verification and court practice on 16 October with a technical meeting in the evening; the opening ceremony and a full day of competition on 17 October; remaining matches and the closing and awards ceremony at 16:30 on 18 October.

Holding the event at Fushan Coffee Town lets a small-ball competition connect coffee, agarwood, selenium-rich farm produce and the heritage of old villages. While popularising boules and enriching community sport, it also activates rural tourism consumption on the western route and provides a strong platform for deeper integration of agriculture, culture, tourism and sport, and for higher-quality rural revitalisation in Chengmai.
