Mark your calendars for an exciting event! The GOLD RANK IN KYOTO U12 4v4 soccer tournament is set to take place on October 11, 2025, in Kyoto. Organized by Now Do, Inc., this tournament is not just another competition—it's a unique opportunity for young soccer teams to earn a spot in the prestigious JAPAN CUP.

What Makes This Tournament Special?

This tournament is designed as a one-shot opportunity. Only the champion team will secure a place in the JAPAN CUP, making it a high-stakes event for all participating teams. We're looking for 24 teams from the Kinki region, based on the cumulative number of entries. Teams from outside the Kinki area are also welcome to apply, so whether you're entering for the first time or you’ve participated before, we encourage you to join!

The GOLD RANK tournament is the highest level within the 4v4 system, which has three tiers: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Winning the Gold level tournament grants automatic qualification to the JAPAN CUP, regardless of rankings. Plus, each winner will receive a special commemorative medal and other prizes, making this event one players won’t want to miss!

About 4v4

The 4v4 tournament format was innovatively developed by Keisuke Honda, a well-known figure in Japan's soccer scene, to enhance the playing experience for youth soccer players aged U10 and U12. The unique format emphasizes agility and skill with 10-minute matches, free substitutions, and a game-changer shot clock of 20 seconds. Goalkeepers can actively participate in attacking plays, making the game thrilling and engaging.

By excluding coaches from the sidelines, the 4v4 format encourages children to think independently and develop their decision-making skills. With a point-based system allowing multiple attempts for improvement, young athletes are motivated to gather points throughout the season to secure a spot at the JAPAN CUP.
In nurturing self-reliant players, we aim to cultivate the next generation of soccer stars, thereby contributing to the growth of Japan's soccer landscape. For more information about 4v4 and its programs, visit the official website: 4v4 Official Site.
