Why this event matters
A Real Event With a Clear Purpose
HOKKAIDO FINAL 2026 gives athletes in Hokkaido an opportunity to compete for national-final qualification without first travelling outside the region. Athletes compete, families support them, and local dojos prepare them for the next stage.
Support from partner companies helps create a safe and meaningful event environment and may be used for event operations, awards, athlete support and the next stage of competition, subject to the organizer’s final allocation.

Learn about MatchSphereA small, practical beginning
Start With One Event
We see the Global Supporter program as a practical first step between an international brand and a real sports community in Japan.
If there is a strong mutual fit, this first collaboration may lead to future conversations about additional events, Japanese-language content, product introductions or other forms of cooperation. No future work, distribution, partnership or continued promotion is guaranteed.
For USD $70, your brand can begin with one event, one clear package and a post-event record of what was delivered.
