SPORT FOR TOMORROW (SFT) is an international contribution through sport initiative jointly implemented by Japanese public and private sectors.
SFT aims to share the values of sport and promote the Olympic and Paralympic Movement to people of all generations around the world including developing countries, for a better future for the world, from 2014 toward the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
With a main focus on cooperating with developing countries, we aim to promote sport and the Olympic and Paralympic movement in both tangible and intangible ways. Japan has long history to contribute to the global sport movement by sending coaches, providing equipment, assisting to enrich the sporting environment etc. This pillar aims to further implement international cooperation and exchange programmes through the strategic and best use of existing resources.
