'Is it okay if I'm not good at sports?' 'Can I participate even if I have a disability?' 'Will I be a bother if it's my first time?'
Targeted at those who have felt such anxieties, this event will be held in Kawagoe on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 (Showa Day).
[Participation Application]
Hosted by the non-profit organization Re-value Life (Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture).
Regardless of age, presence of a disability, or athletic experience.
It is 'Universal Futsal' where everyone can enjoy playing under the 'same rules'.
■ What is Universal Futsal?
In a word, it's futsal where you don't have to run.
Adopting the concept of 'Walking Football' recommended by the Japan Football Association (JFA), we have created rules that anyone can enjoy with peace of mind.
Here are the 3 key points!
① No running
Only 'walking' is allowed during play.
It is perfectly fine even if you are not confident in your stamina or athletic ability.
② Low risk of injury
Contact play is prohibited.
Safe for children, adults, and those exercising for the first time in a while.
③ No one is left out
It's OK even if it is difficult for you to kick a ball.
Wheelchair users and those with visual impairments can participate with a role on the same pitch.
Rather than 'how good you are', we value 'trying to do it together'.
