This tournament is the Japan's top competition for "PANNA," a 1-on-1 street soccer game, bringing together players of all generations, from elementary school students to those over 40, on the same stage.
18-year-old reaches the top
In the OPEN category, Yuuri Matsuda (YURI, 18 years old) won his first championship and became the Japan's number one.
Matsuda, who had just graduated from high school, defeated Takuto Oguro, a former world champion and two-time consecutive domestic tournament winner, in a fierce semi-final match, amidst a field of former world champions and world tournament participants.
In the final, he triumphed over 16-year-old Sora Tsunakawa to claim the national title.
Notably, Tsunakawa won and Matsuda was runner-up in the national tournament held in October 2025, making this final a rematch.

Street Soccer Where Generations Intersect
PANNA is a sport where players compete under the same rules and in the same space, regardless of age or affiliation. In this tournament, players from elementary school age to their 40s played in the same venue, creating a space where their respective styles and values intersected.
It was a two-day event that embodied the unique culture of street soccer, where not only wins and losses but also the tactics and expressions born on the spot are evaluated.
