11th Edotion COPA Futsal EDGE

The COPA Futsal EDGE started in March 2016 to promote futsal among junior players and to support their skill development. Top teams from across Japan—regular participants of national tournaments, academy teams of J.League and F.League clubs, and Vermont Cup champions—have competed, producing high-level and passionate matches. The 11th edition will be held on March 20, 2026 at ZOZOPARK HONDA FOOTBALL AREA in Chiba.

“The Hidden Jr No.1 Futsal Tournament” — Where Japan’s Top Juniors Gather

The COPA Futsal EDGE is known as the pre-battle for the national tournament. Teams that place highly in this tournament often advance through regional qualifiers and perform strongly in the main competition. As a result, the tournament has become known as the competition where Japan’s top junior teams gather—also referred to as “The Hidden Top Junior Futsal Tournament.” Let’s aim for the top in this new-season opener and kick off the year with passion.
