Globis Cup
Keywords: Tournament
The GLOBIS Cup World Go U-20 is an international tournament for young players that was introduced in 2014 and organised by the Nihon Kiin. It is named after the Japanese university and a corporation sponsoring it.
Fukuoka Kotaro's 2022 attempt was the first appearance in the finals of a Japanese representatiive since Kyo Kagen's second time running up, in 2016. It was the first time a Japanese-born player had reached them since Ichiriki Ryo's victory in the inaugural 2014 edition.
Wang Xinghao is the only player to have won twice (2021-22) or finalised three times (2021-23). He will turn twenty in February 2024 and will no longer be able to participate.
