GUIYANG, China, June 20 (Xinhua) — China's Village Basketball Competition, also known as "CunBA," was launched on Tuesday in Taipan Village, located in Taijiang County of southwest China's Guizhou Province.
The organizers stated that the competition aims to encourage villagers from across the country to form basketball teams representing their townships or villages. The finals are scheduled to take place in Taijiang this coming October.
At the unveiling ceremony of "CunBA," the village basketball team of Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture had a friendly match with their counterparts from Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, situated in northwest China's Gansu Province.

Earlier this year, the finals of the Guizhou "Gorgeous Countryside" Basketball League, nicknamed "CunBA" by Chinese netizens, were held in Taipan Village. This amateur basketball event caused a stir due to its festive atmosphere and the intertwining of ethnic and rural cultures.
