SANIX holds various international sports competitions based on the basic principles of healthy development of young people through sports, dissemination, and improvement of competitiveness, and international cross-cultural exchange. This handball tournament was also the 9th time, and we invited teams from the Republic of Korea and held the tournament with 16 teams including domestic men's and women's teams. Since the tournament venue and accommodation facilities are located in the same facility, athletes can meet with and understand each other's culture by living together.
In addition to holding competitions, overseas teams held exchange games by Fukuoka University, exchange meetings between participating team players, exchange meetings with participating team leaders and tournament officials, and overseas team sightseeing in Fukuoka Prefecture.

Feedback from Participant :
Comment from the coach of Bucheon Technical High School (Republic of Korea):
This was my second participation following last year, but the tournament was well organized this year as well. Playing against Japanese high school students has a great impact on Korean players. I was happy with the hospitality and was able to concentrate on the match.
