GLOBALTREE Partners with Keisuke Honda's 4v4 Football Tournament

GLOBALTREE Partners with 4v4 Football Tournament

In an exciting development for youth soccer enthusiasts, GLOBALTREE, a prominent Tokyo-based company, has signed a sponsorship agreement with Now Do Co., Ltd., founded by Japanese football star Keisuke Honda. This partnership supports the upcoming national tournament, the "4v4 JAPAN CUP 2025 RESPECT YOU, au," which aims to promote a unique and dynamic form of soccer for younger players.

What is 4v4?

4v4 is a new soccer format conceptualized by Honda to engage the younger generation, specifically targeting age categories U10 and U12. Unlike traditional soccer formats, a key feature of the 4v4 tournament is the absence of coaches on the field. This allows children to independently create strategies and make decisions during the game, fostering a sense of initiative and teamwork.

With quick ten-minute matches and a 20-second shot clock, the 4v4 format is designed to maintain high energy and excitement, encouraging children to take charge of their play. The tournament also emphasizes a system where players can benefit from multiple attempts rather than elimination, thus promoting continuous learning and skill development.

Continuing Support for Youth Development

This isn’t the first instance of GLOBALTREE’s support for youth soccer. The company has previously sponsored events like the "4v4 JAPAN CUP 2024" and the "4v4 ASIAN CUP 2024-25." By establishing this partnership, GLOBALTREE seeks to further enhance opportunities for children to develop essential life skills such as cooperation, independence, and creativity through the power of sports.

In a statement, Yoshimura Masuki, the CEO of GLOBALTREE, expressed their dedication to nurturing the next generation: "4v4 represents a new paradigm in youth sports where children are encouraged to think and act autonomously, aligning perfectly with our mission to create empowering environments for their growth."

This partnership is driven by a heartfelt vision: "To bring the world of soccer competitions to every child." It synchronizes seamlessly with GLOBALTREE's commitment to providing an environment where children can embark on their journeys toward a bright future.

The 4v4 Project: Empowering Young Players

The 4v4 tournament not only focuses on enjoyment and skill-building but is also designed to ultimately yield future soccer stars. By emphasizing personal agency on the field, the format helps instill crucial abilities needed in society, such as critical thinking and systematic decision-making.

The tournament will span from April 26 to November 20, 2025, culminating in an intense three-day finals from December 20 to 25, where top teams from various categories will vie for the championship title. 49 teams will compete, showcasing their skills in a total of 326 matches.

The final event on December 25 will feature exciting playoff rounds, leading to the crowning of champions in both U10 and U12 categories. Moreover, the champion teams will have the unique opportunity to face Honda's special team, followed by a legends match featuring professional players.

The Final Showdown Awaits

As anticipation builds towards this landmark event, soccer fans and supporters are encouraged to follow the 4v4 journey. Tickets for general viewing are available through the tournament’s official website (4v4 Official). The upcoming events promise not just thrilling soccer but also a platform where children learn essential life skills. With GLOBALTREE’s continued support, there’s no telling how many future soccer stars will emerge from this innovative venture.
