OKINAWA CLEAN CHALLENGE CUP 2025 Final Announcement

The anticipated culmination of the OKINAWA CLEAN CHALLENGE CUP 2025 is set to take place on February 22, 2026, hosted by the Ryukyu Corazon, a handball team rooted in Okinawa. This event symbolizes a unique fusion of esports and environmental responsibility through the innovative initiative crafted by Life Reversal Gaming and the eスポGOMI Organizing Committee. The competition aims to generate awareness about environmental issues while providing a fun way for participants to engage in social service.

This event has evolved significantly since its inception, drawing in 60 participants across 30 teams that competed in a series of preliminary stages held throughout Okinawa from August to December 2025. Each qualifying event—Okinawa STAGE on August 30, Ishigaki STAGE on October 12, and Itoman STAGE on December 6—highlighted the competitive spirit combined with a commitment to cleaning up our environment. The exciting conclusion of this series will see the top 16 teams from these stages converge in Urasoe city to claim victory.

The winning team will be awarded round-trip tickets to watch a game of the Ryukyu Corazon in an away match, promoting community engagement and sportsmanship. This synergy not only fosters competitive spirit but also encourages participants to take pride in their immediate surroundings.

A Closer Look at the Event

The OKINAWA CLEAN CHALLENGE CUP 2025 is more than just a competition; it is an environmental preservation event that runs throughout the year, encouraging teams to participate in cleanup activities while competing in video games. The preliminary stages were as follows:

• - Okinawa STAGE: Hosted the kickoff event
• - Ishigaki STAGE: Added competitive layers to the mix
• - Itoman STAGE: Further showcased the dedication of participants

The Ryukyu Corazon, established in 2007, has continuously engaged in local cleanup activities, highlighting their commitment to environmental sustainability. The organization is now combining sports promotion with life-changing efforts in their community through this innovative tournament format. Last year’s event saw overwhelming participation, prompting an expansion of the program for 2025. Future plans include extending the event beyond Okinawa to other prefectures and potentially to overseas locations.

Understanding eスポGOMI

eスポGOMI is a multifaceted initiative that connects the urgent problem of marine debris with the engaging nature of esports. Teams of three compete against each other to collect trash within designated areas. The amount and type of waste they accumulate determine their points, fostering teamwork and a sense of achievement, while engaging participants of all ages. The event encourages awareness of environmental challenges, turning trash collection into a competitive sport.
