~ The Social Impact of Sports Events Driven by International Exchange and Cooperation, and the Future Beyond~

Sport for Tomorrow Consortium (SFTC), which promotes international sports exchange and cooperation through public-private collaboration  or  an international exchange and cooperation program on sports based of the commitment of the Japanese government, will hold “Sport for Tomorrow Conference 2025”.

With international sports events such as the World Athletics Championships and Deaflympics to be held in Tokyo in 2025, and the Asian (Para) Games Aichi-Nagoya in 2026, what can be done from the perspective of international sports exchange and cooperation?

It is necessary for us to think more about “Legacy”  than ever before.
