Today, four members of Japan's Jorkyball National Team depart from Kansai International Airport on an 18:00 flight bound for Canada, where the 2026 Jorkyball World Cup will take place.
This is the stage where the world's strongest teams come together. It is a place where not only skill and tactics are tested, but also dedication, teamwork, and the pride of representing one's country.
While achieving strong results on the world stage is certainly important, we hope our players will also showcase the qualities that define Japan: fair play, unwavering determination, and absolute trust in one another.
Their opponents will be the host nation, Canada, and the perennial world powerhouse, France. These will be anything but easy matches. However, the opportunity to challenge the world's best is, in itself, an invaluable experience. Only those who dare to compete at the highest level can experience the pressure, the excitement, and the personal growth that come with such a challenge.
"The game begins long before the opening whistle."
Trust in the countless hours of preparation. Believe in yourself. Believe in your teammates. Step onto the court with confidence and give everything you have. The support and encouragement from fans across Japan will undoubtedly become a powerful source of strength.
Together with our Jorkyball sponsors, KOFU FIELD Co., Ltd. remains committed to supporting athletes who inspire people through sport, energize local communities, and boldly take on challenges around the world.
To Japan's National Team—
Give everything you have in every match.
Go, Japan!
We look forward to seeing you perform at your very best and proudly represent Japan on the world stage.
