This year's international emerging sports are carried out around the three themes of "Beijing TurkBall Challenge", "Olympic Friendship City Cage Football International Invitational Tournament" and "Beijing Cage Football International Invitational Tournament". At the event site on August 27, a number of events attracted many tourists to stop and watch.
The successful hosting of this year's Winter Olympics has made Beijing the world's first and only city of the Two Olympic Games. At the same time, this year, the mainland ushered in the commemoration of the "every tenth" anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations with many countries. Through the holding of sports exchanges such as the "Olympic Friendship City Cage Football International Invitational Tournament" and the "Beijing Cage Football International Invitational Tournament", we have actively practiced non-governmental diplomacy and public diplomacy by meeting friends and making friends, and it is also a useful attempt to help the construction of Beijing International Exchange Center.
Cage football with more scoring opportunities, faster offensive and defensive rhythms, and no win-lose goals showed great appeal, and diplomats in China threw themselves into it with great enthusiasm and participation, with wang Chunwan, ambassador of the Republic of Mauritius to China, and Cruz Seta, deputy ambassador of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria to China, personally leading the team, Argentina, Cuba, Ecuador, Gabon, Nigeria, the Gambia, Sudan, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Rwanda, Diplomats from Dominican embassies in China from 14 countries also participated in cage football matches.

When international emerging sports such as cage football and table ball, which use big data and digital technology and other high-tech means, come to the foot of the Juyongguan Great Wall, innovative cultural exchanges will combine sports, diplomacy and civilization mutual learning, and concentrate ancient and modern, East and West in an international friendly scene. This is the original intention of the organizers, and it is also the expectation of all sectors of society.
