Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – On the evening of February 7th, the Banshan Basketball Court in Qingxiu District, Nanning City, was brightly lit and bustling with activity. Amidst the festive atmosphere, the 9th Guangxi Ten Thousand Villages Basketball Tournament and the 2026 "National Fitness New Year Greetings" Guangxi Main Venue event kicked off with great enthusiasm.
The Guangxi Ten Thousand Villages Basketball Tournament is a benchmark grassroots event in Guangxi, promoting national fitness and contributing to rural revitalization. On the evening of the event, nearly 10,000 spectators gathered at the venue for this rural sports extravaganza, where sports provided the platform and culture, tourism, and commerce supported the event.
At the opening ceremony, technological elements and ethnic customs intertwined. A drone-suspended flying screen became the focus of the audience's attention in the night sky. The Zhuang ethnic group's banana leaf fire dragon dance and freestyle dunking performances followed, pushing the atmosphere to a climax. Representatives from sports teams and businesses paraded through the venue, acting as "village promoters" and showcasing their local agricultural products. A rural market set up nearby displayed a dazzling array of agricultural products, including zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) and dried goods, creating a vibrant interplay with the parade and showcasing a revitalization strategy that integrates basketball, industry, and culture and tourism.
The 9th Guangxi Ten Thousand Villages Basketball Tournament was held across Guangxi from February to March, with the competition divided into township-level, city-level, and final stages. As a concrete practice of implementing the "Three Major Ball Sports" revitalization initiative and empowering rural revitalization through sports, the tournament used basketball as a medium to popularize the sport in rural areas and inject momentum into building a strong sports region.
Each game of the Guangxi Ten Thousand Villages Basketball Tournament included agricultural product sales and cultural tourism promotion, striving to create a new model of rural sports with "one game, multiple benefits." The aim was to use the tournament as a platform to activate rural consumption, drive industrial linkages, and deepen the integration of agriculture, culture, sports, tourism, and commerce. (End)
