The 11th SANIX Cup, U-17 International Handball Tournament 2018
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. The 11th annual event of the handball tournament was held and the teams were invited from Netherlands, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Canada. The tournament consisted of 16 teams which included domestic men’s and women’s teams Since the competition venue and accommodation facilities are located in the same place, this allowed the participants to interact and communicate with each other and learn about each other’s cultures by intermingling and collaborating through sport.
During their stay in Japan, they had the opportunity to involve in activities such as exchange games between overseas teams, exchange meetings between participating team players, exchange meetings with participating team leaders and tournament officials, and sightseeing in Fukuoka city.
SANIX also showed a video of the “PLAY TRUE 2020” in collaboration with The Japan Anti-Doping Agency (JADA) to convey the message of the value of sport.

Feedback from Participant :
Ms. Bernadette Van der Linden, Manager, HV Hellas (The Netherlands)
It was a perfect and wonderful experience in everything from tournament planning and management, scheduling, competition level, food, tourism, and hospitality. I have participated in competitions in various countries in Europe, but this time was the best. If you can invite me again, I would definitely participate again.
