Message from Mr. KITAZAWA

The Tokyo U-14 International Youth Football Tournament brings together youth from around the world—the young people who represent the future of football. It has developed into an outstanding international tournament supported by the community, featuring impassioned games played in front of many cheering fans and supporters.

A Japanese team has not won the tournament since 2010. I urge the players to give it their all on the pitch and rise up to the challenge of bringing the title home for the host nation.

In three years, Tokyo will host the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics. As part of the buildup, the tournament has added an inclusive parent-child soccer clinic for both persons of any ability (with or without particular disabilities) to enjoy together, as well as an event where anyone can experience blind soccer and amputee soccer.

The Tokyo U-14 International Youth Football Tournament aims to create an environment that enables everyone to enjoy playing, watching, and supporting sports, including coaching, throughout their lifetimes.

Let’s get together strong in Tokyo!
