GREETING
Soccer is something to enjoy. We want to create an environment where many people can enjoy soccer for a long time in their lives, just like in Europe and South America. This is the root of our activities.
In Europe, where soccer is firmly established as a part of the culture, the fields have moved from the streets to developed environments, with dedicated courts for one-on-one or three-on-three matches found in parks, and there are many different ways to enjoy the game. People of all ages enjoy the game together, changing the rules to eliminate physical contact to allow for a more skillful match, or incorporating passing between the legs to score points and decide the outcome.
Japan does not have a culture of street soccer, but there used to be places and parks where people could play freely with a ball. However, in recent years, kicking a ball in parks and schools has often been banned, and while soccer has become an elite sport and people have gained competitive ability, the element of play in soccer itself has faded, and it has become more like a hobby.
99% of people will not become professional soccer players. We believe that it is essential for the future of soccer in Japan to create an environment where a wider range of people can enjoy soccer for a long time, and an environment where people who have never played soccer can enjoy soccer together, rather than just encouraging people to aim to become soccer players or providing a place for people who have aspired to become soccer players.
Just like skateboarding and BMX, which have been gaining attention in recent years, overseas street soccer players imitate world-class players, create original techniques, and post them on the internet, YouTube, social media, etc. These posts then lead to connections with players from around the world, who then compete in world championships and work together to improve street soccer. In that sense, street soccer is an urban sport, and I believe it will also be one factor in the future development of soccer in Japan.
We at the Street Soccer Association are not only working to popularize street soccer, which can be enjoyed by a small number of people in a small space, but also to develop children who can connect with the world and aim to become world champions, just like those overseas, and we hope to create a new world champion to follow in the footsteps of previous Japanese world champions.
