Team Chiayi competes in the Asian Cup in Thailand, Chiayi’s daughter wins 3 silvers and 4 bronzes, achieving great results

The "2026 Asian Cup Asian Cup Championship" was held grandly in Pattaya, Thailand. A total of 71 players from Taiwan participated in the competition, setting a new high in the number of participants in the past 16 years. Among them, the Chiayi City "Team Chiayi" team showed strong strength in the fierce competition and won 3 silvers and 4 bronzes, 3 fourths and 1 fifth, once again letting the world see the hard work and resilience of Chiayi girls.

Huang Yuancheng, director of the Municipal Education Department, said that the competition was held from the 6th to the 8th of this month. The Chiayi City "Team Chiayi" team was composed of 7 special education students, 3 ordinary students and 4 parents. The players continued to break through themselves from daily training to international competitions and showed outstanding performance in different groups.

Looking back, Jia City has been promoting competitive cup stacking for more than five years, and has trained a total of 32 national athletes, including 13 special education students and 19 ordinary students. Four players have won the Presidential Education Award.

Huang Yuancheng said that competitive cup stacking not only cultivates players' concentration, coordination and reaction speed, but also allows children to learn emotional regulation, teamwork and the spirit of perseverance through repeated practice and competition challenges.

Yang Jiahao, the principal of Yuren Elementary School, said that in addition to student players, this time the team also has parents who are personally involved in training. They have changed from supporters cheering on the sidelines in the past to sports partners fighting side by side with their children. This allows inclusive education to extend from the campus to the home, demonstrating the precious value of parents and children learning and growing together.
