Soccer enthusiasts, mark your calendars! The 4v4 JAPAN CUP 2025 is set to take place on December 25, 2025, at the iconic TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO. This event promises to be a celebration of not only young talent from across Japan but also the legends of soccer who have paved the way for future generations.

It aims to provide children the chance to develop their skills on the field, fostering not only their athletic abilities but also qualities such as teamwork, leadership, and decision-making.
