From December 16th to 22d take place in Hanoi (Vietnam) the Asian Petanque Championships, the odd years being devoted to triplets: Youth, Women, Men and Mixed. Although the dates and the invitations were sent late, competitors gather a dozen countries on a wonderful site entirely dedicated to pétanque.

Iwan Rosyidi was our support for the presence of petanque at the Asian Games when its former president was not moving despite our joint visit to the NOC of Indonesia. During the 2011 SEA GAMES, part of which was organised in this country, he took care of the petanque competitions in his city of Palembang and the organisation was perfect. While the Indonesian federation had been suspended for not joining the new Asian confederation (ABSC), its president not understanding the reasons for the change and preferring to stay close to the former leaders of the former suspended confederation, he had organized the start of a new federation and travelled with a team to the 2016 world championships in Madagascar.

The 17th World Youth & Women's Championships which will take place from 18 to 24 November in Phnom Penh at Cambodia are in place. Some 60 participating teams from the 5 confederations Africa, Asia, Europa, Oceania & Panam America are expected by the Cambodia Petanque Federation, organizer of these competitions. You will find all the information and various results in the menu on the right under "World Championships" then choose "World Championships Youth & World Championships Women's".
