Team Kinyen

Team Kinyen participated in the Galactic Cup of Limmie tournament as a representative of the planet Kinyen from the Expansion Region. They played the sport of bolo-ball, also known as limmie. Located in Capra, a large city on Kinyen, their home field was the Grand Khanum Stadium, which had a seating capacity of 150,000 for Galactic Cup tournament games. Despite the enthusiasm of the native [Gran](/article/gran/legends] people, Team Kinyen, while one of the few offworld influences on their world, often failed to qualify for the Galactic Cup.

In 22 BBY, Team Kinyen was defeated in the opening round of the tournament by the team from the planet Yag'Dhul, who scored two unanswered points. This result was reported in an article titled "Coruscant Eliminated in Galactic Cup Opening Round," which appeared in the CoCo District Edition of HoloNet News. Following the Destruction of Alderaan in 0 BBY and the subsequent suspension of the Galactic Cup, the Grand Khanum Stadium was largely abandoned.
