About 4v4

The 4v4 concept was developed by soccer legend Keisuke Honda, aiming to energize the Japanese soccer scene. Tailored for youth players aged U10 and U12, this innovative format stresses autonomy among young competitors, featuring unique rules, including a 10-minute single match format, flexible substitutions, and a 20-second shot clock. The absence of coaches on the bench encourages children to think independently and act on their decisions. The tournament champions can earn points throughout the season to compete for the coveted JAPAN CUP title.

Through nurturing problem-solving skills and promoting self-reliance, 4v4 aims to cultivate the next generation of soccer stars, contributing to the growth of soccer in Japan.
