From FIT · Asia Pacific Seniors Touch Cup 2026

On behalf of the Federation of International Touch and Japan Touch Association, we are delighted to welcome you to Utsunomiya, the host city for the inaugural 2026 Asia Pacific Seniors Touch Cup.

We extend our sincere thanks to our partners in Utsunomiya for their support and to the team at Tochigi Sports Park. As Touch continues to grow across the world, so too does the positive impact it brings to host communities, and our partners here have recognised the value this event contributes to local sport, tourism, and the regional economy.

We would also like to acknowledge the players, coaches, team managers, support staff, and referees from every participating nation. We fully appreciate the financial commitment, time, and energy required to compete at international level, and we thank you for the dedication that has made your involvement possible.

Our gratitude extends to Japan Touch Association, the event volunteers, suppliers, and everyone who has contributed to planning and delivering this tournament over the past few months. Your collective effort has been instrumental in bringing 52 teams together for the inaugural event.

Together, we have all played a part in creating a successful and competitive event across all playing divisions.

We hope you enjoy the coming days and have a memorable experience here in Japan.
