This tournament is a regional revitalization project with the concept of 'Making Toyama's business scene more vibrant,' aiming to create inter-corporate exchange across industries and sizes through sports. Since the announcements of the first and second rounds, we have received numerous applications and inquiries from companies in Toyama Prefecture, and the remaining spots are now limited. This is the final announcement, so companies considering participation are encouraged to apply early.

Furthermore, over 20 companies have already committed to participate, and it is expected to be one of the largest 'corporate exchange futsal tournaments' in Toyama (as of April 2026, according to our research). Assuming an average of less than 10 participants per team, the event could involve approximately 200 players alone, and potentially around 300 people including supporters and related personnel.
