At the opening ceremony of the Japan National Football Tournament (TOYO TIRES CUP2024), held on January 1, 2024, coaches and players participating in the “5th World Deaf Futsal Championships”
Japan’s first ever representative match at Motohama Stadium 1916 was watched by 60,000 spectators, and the Yokohama team captain announced the tournament and, together with manager Nori Yamamoto, laid a bouquet for the Japanese women’s team.
Excellent results – women became world champions in futsal for the deaf in Brazil, and men took an honorable second place in the world football championship for the deaf in Malaysia.
In 3 months, the four-year international winter futsal Deaflympics will be held in Turkey.
The Japanese believe that football and futsal are sports that many people can play together, regardless of age, gender, nationality or disability.
Calling on all football fans to support the Japanese people for the deaf, they will be grateful to so many people in such a wonderful place.
Thank you for your valuable time.
