Miyamoto Football Academy Announces 2026 Enrollment, Offers Free Trials

Tokyo, Japan – The Miyamoto Football Academy, founded by former Japan national team captain Tsuneyasu Miyamoto, has announced enrollment for the 2026 season. The academy, based at the Miyamoto Futsal Park in Tokyo’s Sumida ward, is now accepting applications for children interested in developing their soccer skills, from beginners to those looking to elevate their game.
