The defending champions are Meishu Gakuen Hitachi, from Ibaraki Prefecture, who won the 2022 final against Toko Gakuen by 7–6 on penalties, after a 2–2 draw after extra-time. On the previous edition, curiously, neither of the teams who played at the semi-finals were on 2023 at the U-18 Premier League, the top division for youth teams in Japan.[2]
During the tournament, all matches will have a duration of 70 minutes, split into two halves of 35 minutes each, with a draw in normal time leading the match directly into penalty shoot-outs. In the final, in case of a draw, the match will be led into an extra-time of 20 minutes, split into two halves of 10 minutes. Only after extra-time, should the draw persists, there will be penalty shoot-outs.
By online streaming, in the 2023 edition, the entire tournament was streamed on inhai.tv, a website within control of SportsBull. The semi-finals and the final were also streamed on J-Sports. By TV, the final was broadcast by J Sports 4.[3] There is no confirmation about the broadcasting of the 2024 tournament.[4]
