中新社福州11月7日电 (郑江洛)2026年全国触式橄榄球锦标赛7日在福州开赛,近50支队伍、700余名运动员同场竞技。这是福州在连续四届承办全国触式橄榄球分区赛后,首次承办触式橄榄球项目全国最高级别赛事。
本次赛事由中国橄榄球协会主办,竞赛组别覆盖小学、中学、成年等多个年龄段。据悉,由福建省橄榄球协会于今年7月组建的首支闽台青年橄榄球队亮相赛场,该队依托福建省橄榄球协会台胞副秘书长康永明执教的福州外语外贸学院队,吸纳在闽台青球员组建而成,这也是全国触式橄榄球赛事中首次出现闽台联合组队的参赛形式。
康永明2024年从台湾来到福建推广橄榄球运动,彼时全省仅45所学校开设此项运动课程。两年多来,福建开展校园橄榄球的学校已扩展至150所,参与规模居全国首位。康永明表示,有了橄榄球这个共同的运动项目,两岸青年就有了“共同语言”,除了一起打球,还可以一起品美食、游览三坊七巷,了解彼此的文化。“走亲走熟,才能真正像一家人一样。”
康永明说,闽台联队组建近半年,此次是首次参加全国最高级别赛事,希望以球为媒增进两岸青年情感交流。
福建省橄榄球协会会长吴露生表示,两岸交流一直是福建橄榄球运动的特色。赛事期间同步举办第十四届海峡青年荟·第十一届海峡两岸(福建)青年橄榄球交流赛,搭建起常态化交流平台,让橄榄球成为闽台青年相知相融、同心同向的温情纽带。
据介绍,本届海峡两岸橄榄球交流赛由往年的赛会制调整为赛季制,竞赛项目拓展至英式橄榄球、触式橄榄球、美式装备式橄榄球、腰旗橄榄球等多个类别,搭建起两岸橄榄球运动融合交流的广阔平台。
近年来,福建持续深耕体教融合,拓展闽台体育交流,橄榄球已纳入福州市中小学生运动会正式竞赛项目和中考体育特长生招生项目。
