The Japan Football Association and UNIQLO Co.

In fiscal 2024, the event will be held in a total of 15 cities, starting with Clairefontaine (France). In Japan, the event will be held at 14 venues, including four new stadiums such as "EDION Peace Wing Hiroshima," which opened this February.

JFA and UNIQLO have held "JFA UNIQLO Soccer Kids" at the National Stadium and six major domes. The event has also been held in Singapore, Germany, and Vietnam, and has introduced the joy of soccer/sports to children in Japan and abroad through this event. As mentioned above, the first event this year was held in France. The venue is the Institut national du football de Clairefontaine, which has produced Kylian Mbappe, the French national soccer team, and Thierry Henry, the former French national soccer team.

This summer, a quadrennial sports festival will be held in Paris, attracting attention to soccer and various other sports. The purpose of the event is to provide children living in France with opportunities to nurture their dreams and independence through sports during this memorable year.

JFA and UNIQLO will continue to contribute to the realization of a better community by nurturing children's dreams and self-reliance through sports.

JFA UNIQLO Soccer Kids
The JFA, with special sponsorship from UNIQLO, is conducting "JFA UNIQLO Soccer Kids" throughout Japan. This event is part of the "JFA Kids Program" (one of the "Captain's Mission" at that time), which was established in 2003 to convey the joy of sports to children today, who have less opportunities to play outside. The program has been in operation since 2003, when the program was launched.
　Since the program's inception in 2003, it has been held under the special sponsorship of UNIQLO at large stadiums where J-League, WE-League, and Japan National Team matches are held. 21 years after its launch in 2003, a total of approximately 300,000 kids have participated, and while enjoying soccer, they have developed a spirit of independence, cooperation, and other skills. The event has been held at a large stadium.

[Eligibility] Preschoolers under 6 years old (not elementary school students. No previous experience, male or female, is required.)
