U-12 World Challenge 2023

The World Challenge is the largest international football tournament for junior (U-12) players, held in Japan since 2012.

Due to the pandemic that swept the world in August 2023, and the political instability that has continued since February 2021, the trip was delayed three times, but finally, we were able to invite 24 children from Myanmar to Japan and make their participation in the World Challenge international football tournament a reality.

The children, who disembarked at Narita Airport with nervous expressions, gradually brightened, and their smiles grew more radiant each day. We hope to continue this initiative in the future.

*This project is completely unrelated to the politics or military activities of Myanmar.

As a purely private exchange, we hope that the children of Myanmar will not lose hope for the future and will continue to take on challenges.

This is an attempt to bring it to fruition.
