As a social contribution activity of LDH JAPAN Inc., “EXILE CUP” is a futsal tournament started in 2010 for 4th to 6th graders of elementary schools.

The 13th tournament “EXILE CUP 2025” will be held!

In light of the heat wave in recent years, the regional preliminaries will begin in April.
Preliminaries will be held at 10 venues in 9 regions: Hokkaido, Tohoku, Hokushinetsu, Kanto, Tokai, Kansai, Chugoku, Shikoku and Kyushu (2 venues).
The winning team from each region will advance to the final to be held at Asics Satoyama Stadium in Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture.

In addition, a women’s league will be held in Kanto, Tokai, and Kansai this year!
We will support all children who take on challenges for their dreams.

In the past 12 tournaments, 45,998 children from a total of 5,280 teams with dreams have had intense battles.

We are also looking forward to active applications this year from kid players around Japan who are making every effort to play soccer and futsal!

With the hope for kids to take on “challenges”
and the theme of “Dreams For Children”,
LDH JAPAN will support children who play soccer wholeheartedly and happily.

■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’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 boldly!

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!

Please do your best to make it to the finals in Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture!!
