"He is going to take part in a basketball competition next year."

Translation: 他明年要参加篮球比赛。

Why is 要 used and not 会？

[JonathanSt520526]

Same question. Shouldn't 要 be translated as either he needs/wants to participate in the basketball competition next year?

[KentaroT.V]

Yeah shouldn't 他明年会参加打蓝球比赛 be accepted?

[MaynardHogg]

It was accepted just now.

‘他明年会参加篮球比赛’ 是不是比较好？
