About JFA UNIQLO SOCCER KIDS

The JFA UNIQLO SOCCER KIDS is a football festival for kids age 6 and under. This aims that kids enjoy playing 8-on-8 football with little emphasis on winning or losing. The JFA has hosted kids’ soccer festivals as a part of the JFA Kids Program since 2003 and carried out “JFA UNIQLO SOCCER KIDS” at about 14 locations throughout the country with the support by UNIQLO CO., LTD.

It is very important for kids to experience playing football matches, but on top of that, we prepare other attractions as well for their individual skills improvement, providing a place where even kids with no past match experience can enjoy football. Please take a look at the article below for details.

There is no participation fee. All participants receive a “T-shirt” from UNIQLO CO., LTD.
