The TBBF has been around for 20 years now, and we celebrated 🎺🎉🎂🍾🥂🍽️
Twenty years ago, BalongBall came to Europe thanks to Xiaofei Sui, our TBBF chairman. This was cause for celebration, so the TBBF combined this year's supervision with its anniversary celebration and World BailongBall Day (our announcement).
On the way to our enchanted location
We celebrated at a magical place—Casa Nelting on Muffendorfer Straße in Bonn, the former capital of Germany. Surrounded by ancient grapevines towering over the path and historic buildings, the charm of the evening captivated us right from the start.
Simply enchanted
The faces say it all—this room and its atmosphere brought smiles to the faces of Marianne, Wilhelmina, and Maja (from left to right), and not only them.
Our hosts – indulging and well-being
Frederik (center) and Fritjof (background) Nelting provided us with everything our hearts desired throughout the evening—from a cozy atmosphere and delicious homemade treats to an unforgettable ambiance.
The love of sport ... first touched our taste buds
From vegan to meat dishes, there was something delicious for everyone.
The "sweet pinnacle"
There was no getting around it—the dessert was a delight.
A great meal—you can see it in their faces
When the "head chef," Frederik (right), and the "head of the federation," Xiaofei (left), look so happy at the camera, it's clear that the food was a delight.
Our history and our sport in pictures and anecdotes
After the meal, Xiaofei took the participants on a journey through the club's history, and Philippe (left in the picture) continued the journey to China with pictures of tournaments and sports development.
TBBF – you deserve to be celebrated
We were captivated by the evening, just as we are by the sport itself. It's a kind of magic that you can experience for yourself. The TBBF makes it possible!
