4v4 ASIAN CUP 2024-25: Empowering Youth Through Soccer in Asia

4v4 ASIAN CUP 2024-25: A New Era for Youth Soccer

In an exciting development for young soccer players across Asia, GLOBALTREE and HAPPY LIFE CARE Corporation have partnered with Now Do Corporation, led by the renowned former footballer Keisuke Honda, to sponsor the South Korean team in the historic inaugural 4v4 ASIAN CUP 2024-25. This groundbreaking soccer tournament emphasizes growth opportunities beyond borders, aiming to empower young talents through the beautiful game.

What Is the 4v4 ASIAN CUP?

The 4v4 ASIAN CUP, featuring a unique format envisioned by Honda, is set to revolutionize youth soccer by making the sport accessible to every child. With the mission “to bring world soccer tournaments to all children,” the initiative fosters a competitive yet supportive environment where children can develop vital life skills like independence, teamwork, and strategic thinking.

Taking place on August 10, 2025, at the Ota City General Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan, the tournament will showcase teams from various countries, including Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Chinese Taipei. This year marks a significant milestone as children from outside Japan, specifically from Korea, will participate, highlighting the event's commitment to crossing cultural and linguistic barriers.

A Unique Format that Fosters Learning

The structure of the tournament is innovative. Designed specifically for children in the U10 and U12 age groups, the games are played in a fast-paced format where each match lasts just 10 minutes, allowing for multiple rounds and fostering resilience in players. With a shot clock of just 20 seconds, the rules encourage offensive play. Additionally, there are no coaches or managers on the sidelines, which promotes autonomy and decision-making among the young athletes. This structure aims to empower children to take ownership of their game, learning from both victories and defeats.

Last year, GLOBALTREE took significant steps in supporting this sports initiative. Their involvement is not just about promoting soccer but also about nurturing potential in a broader sense, reflecting the company’s dedication to children’s welfare through various projects like the Global Kids Park and Global Kids Method. Through these initiatives, they engage with children and inspire them to confront challenges head-on, creating foundational skills that extend well beyond the soccer field.

Commitment to Child Development

Honda's vision, “to have world soccer tournaments available to all children,” resonates deeply with GLOBALTREE. They believe in crafting environments where every child can dream big and shine in society. Supporting the 4v4 ASIAN CUP is not merely a sponsorship; it’s part of their broader commitment to children’s developmental needs. The tournament provides invaluable opportunities for children to engage with their peers from different countries, learn about teamwork, and experience the joy of challenge and camaraderie.

As a company, GLOBALTREE views its role as essential in ensuring that children receive the right support throughout their developmental stages. Their numerous programs focus on providing adequate resources, training, and the necessary environment for positive growth. Through sports and community engagement, they are paving the way for a more inclusive and supportive society.

Looking to the Future

The upcoming tournament not only symbolizes athletic endeavor but also highlights the values of cooperation and mutual respect among young players of different backgrounds. By participating, the children will collectively experience joy in challenges, furthering GLOBALTREE’s mission to open doors for youth and inspire them to take steps toward bright futures.

In conclusion, the 4v4 ASIAN CUP 2024-25 is more than just a soccer tournament; it’s a vibrant initiative that bridges communities across Asia, fostering a spirit of inclusivity, shared experience, and hope for all young players touch by this unique opportunity. GLOBALTREE is proud to play a pivotal role in this journey of growth, collaboration, and passion for the sport.
