About 4v4 Soccer

4v4 Soccer, conceptualized by soccer great Keisuke Honda, aims to invigorate Japan's soccer scene while providing a platform for youth engagement. The format features unique rules, including a 10-minute single-match setup, free substitutions, and a 20-second shot clock, encouraging players to develop their offensive skills. Coaches are not permitted at the bench to foster self-reliance among players, allowing kids to engage more independently in the sport.

Success in this tournament can lead to participation in further competitions such as the JAPAN CUP where aspiring young soccer stars can aspire to claim the ultimate prize.
