From October 28 to November 4, approximately 80 high school students interested in football from ASEAN countries, which are participating in the JENESYS ASEAN-Japan Sports (Football) x SDGs Exchange, will visit Japan, touring Tokyo and Osaka.
- In Tokyo, the delegation will pay a courtesy visit to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan and tour the Sustainable Station initiative at the National Stadium, which conducts food drives and small appliance recycling. In Osaka, with the cooperation of GAMBA OSAKA Co., Ltd., they plan to experience walking football and Bô Soccer, or Stick Soccer, which can be widely enjoyed regardless of age, gender, or sports experience.
- Through this exchange program, it is expected that youth from the ASEAN region will deepen their understanding of ASEAN-Japan relations, increase their interest in the SDGs through sports (football), foster friendship among participating youth, and actively share their experiences visiting Japan and the appeal of various types of football in Japan via social media and other platforms.
