We are pleased to report that Kings U18 and Kings U15 conducted an international exchange program with next-generation top players and staff from Hong Kong over three days, from Thursday, April 9, 2026, to Saturday, April 11, 2026.
This program provided a valuable opportunity for the top-class players from Hong Kong by age group to practice together, directly learning each other's playing styles and basketball cultures. Off the court, they actively communicated beyond language barriers, sharing special moments not experienced in daily life, thereby deepening mutual understanding.
The participants from Hong Kong were players and related parties from the teams that Kings U18 competed against in the "GOAT Lab International Rising Youth Invitational Tournament Hong Kong 2025," an international tournament in Hong Kong to which Kings U18 was invited and participated in September 2025.

Through this program, the players received great stimulation and strengthened their resolve for further growth. Kings U18 and U15 will continue to actively create such international exchange opportunities and strive to develop individuals who can be widely active both in Japan and internationally through basketball.
