To thank everyone for their incredible support of Team Japan during the 2026 BC Nations Cup, we were excited to host a one-day Team Japan Soccer Clinic for young players in our community.
Throughout the clinic, Team Japan players led engaging training sessions focused on technical skills and game situations. The participants had a fantastic opportunity to train alongside players they look up to, making it a fun and memorable experience for everyone.
The event concluded with friendly matches, where players put what they had learned into practice and enjoyed playing together. We also held a Q&A session, giving participants the chance to ask Team Japan players about soccer, school, college athletics, and their personal experiences.
We were delighted to receive many positive comments from both players and parents, including requests to make this a regular event. Hearing such encouraging feedback made the day even more rewarding for our Team Japan members.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated, and to all of the Team Japan players who helped make this event a success!

We were honored to welcome Vancouver Whitecaps FC goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka for a special meet & greet with members of our Japanese soccer community.

​The event included time on the field, a Q&A session, photos, and autographs, giving the children a memorable opportunity to interact with a professional player.

It was a wonderful day that inspired our young players and reminded everyone of the joy of soccer and the importance of pursuing their dreams.

A big thank you to Yohei Takaoka for spending time with our community!
