The sport with two diacritics in its name is pétanque.
Pétanque is a French boules game that is played with metal balls. The name "pétanque" comes from the Provençal word "pè" (foot), and "tanque" (tin can). This is because the game was originally played with balls that were thrown at a tin can.
The two diacritics in the name of pétanque are the acute accent on the "é" and the cedilla on the "ç". The acute accent indicates that the vowel "é" is pronounced with a higher pitch than the vowel "e". The cedilla indicates that the consonant "ç" is pronounced with a soft "s" sound.
I hope this helps!
