＜Message from Tournament Advisor Takeshi Okada＞
EXILE CUP has been held since 2010. And the 13th EXILE CUP will be held in 2025.
The participating teams are becoming more and more skillful and powerful every year. The environment has evolved to such an extent that any team now has the potential to reach the finals, all under the theme “Dreams For Children” brought up by EXILE. As a soccer player, I appreciate EXILE (LDH JAPAN) ’s continuous efforts to create an environment where children can pursue their dreams.

I have heard that some of the players have become Japan national team players or J.LEAGUE players in their respective age groups or artists belonging to LDH JAPAN as a result of continuous holding of this tournament.
I hope that EXILE CUP can provide the participating children a chance to draw their “dreams” that will open up the future.

The finals will be held at “Asics Satoyama Stadium”, a sacred place in Imabari.
Please work hard to win the intense preliminaries and take on challenges as a team and become the champion in the finals.
I will be waiting for you in Imabari.

＜Message from LDH JAPAN Social Innovation Officer Kenchi Tachibana (EXILE/EXILE THE SECOND)＞
Following last year, the 13th EXILE CUP will be held this year!

I am sincerely grateful and happy to be able to hold the tournament again this year thanks to many people’s support.

We have held the tournament, which is a social contribution project of LDH JAPAN, with special feelings since its beginning. I hope that this tournament will also bring dreams and hopes to many people this year, and I will do my best to support it.

I hope that through this tournament, the participants can form bonds with their friends, cultivate gratitude toward their family members and coaches, and above all, obtain a precious opportunity to pursue their own dreams!

We also plan to hold a league for women’s teams for the first time. The number and level of female players have been increasing every year, and we will also support their dreams through EXILE CUP!
