Chinlone players across the world will take part in Myanmar Chinlone Contest to be held from July 3 to Aug 1 in Mandalay, the second largest city of Myanmar, the contest organizing committee said on Tuesday.

Players are from the United States, Japan, Canada, Germany and Thailand.

Local Chinlone players and professionals from Mandalay, Yangon, Bago, Myitkyina, Mogok, Dawei, Toungoo, Pyinmana and Myeik will play the game.

Chinlone, a ball made of cane, is Myanmar's century-old sport played by men of all ages, on the roadsides, in the yards, or in the covered chinlone houses.
