“Chinlone” - Have you ever heard of the sport “Chinlone”?
By May Thant
First, Chinlone or Caneball in English, is a traditional sport in Myanmar but unlike other sports its not a competitive sport, it consists of 6 players and you play by passing a ball with your feet or your head while having to keep it off the ground by passing it to other players, but people wonder, what’s the history of this unique sport?
Chinlone games play a major part in the country’s almost countless Buddhist festivals each year, the largest of which goes on for a month and features thousands of teams vying for perfect performance of form. Live bands play traditional Burmese music that inspires the players and even shapes the style and rhythm of their play; the game is played in time with the music and the instruments accent the moves.
Chinlone has been a promonet sport in Myanmar for almost more than 1,500 years and it originates from China but has been altered the past 1,500 years! It originally started in Myanmar after the independence of Myanmar from British colonial rule in 1948, the country needed traditions which should be unique to Burmese culture, free from any colonial influence. That time, Chinlone originated and is now played by men, women and children, usually together, interchangeably.
The history of sports is so fascinating! There’s also more Burmese sports like LethWei, a martial art like kickboxing if you wanna check that out.
