SHIBUYA WORLD OPEN 2025

A New Chapter of the Freestyle Football Story

“In 2015, standing in Shibuya, we felt it — the energy, the culture, the rhythm of the streets. It was a place that whispered: freestyle belongs here.

Ten years later, the prophecy becomes reality. Japan has risen as the cultural capital of freestyle football, and now, Shibuya becomes the stage for a new world open.”
