The Japan Society is proud to support “Go Team Japan! Soccer Public Viewings at the JCCC,” a series of three community watch parties in Toronto celebrating Japan’s journey at the 2026 World Cup in North and Central America. Co-hosted by the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC) and J Athletics Canada, the events bring fans together to cheer on Samurai Blue as they face the Netherlands, Tunisia, and Sweden. Each matchday features interactive games, raffle prizes, a beer garden, food and marketplace vendors, and music, creating an inclusive and family-friendly environment for all ages. 

All three events quickly reached maximum capacity, underscoring the strong enthusiasm for Japanese football and the growing global profile of Team Japan. This initiative has been made possible through the dedication of JCCC volunteers, the broader J Athletics Canada community at home and abroad, and the generous support of many local partners and corporate sponsors. The Japan Society is honored to contribute to this collaborative effort and to help foster deeper cultural and community ties through the power of sport.
