Pre-camp host town

This training is conducted to eliminate the time difference, adapt to the climate, and adjust the condition before Irimura in the athlete village.
It is a period in which players will increase their concentration so that they can perform the best in the tournament.

In Yokohama City, we accepted pre-camps in U.K., the Republic of Botswana, and the Republic of Tunisia, and supported the acceptance of pre-camps in nine countries through the Strategic Bilateral Sports International Contribution Project (*) implemented by Nippon Sport Science University.

Since signing a memorandum of understanding with the U.K. Olympic National Team in February 2016, Yokohama City, Kawasaki City and Keio University have established a cooperative system and worked together to accept the UK National Team, one of the world's leading sports powers and a large team of players.
In 2018, we created a three-party design with the slogan “GO GB (Go Give, UK)” and opened a website to support the British national team.

The host town is registered by the Cabinet Secretariat to promote human, economic and cultural exchanges between participating countries and the region, and to promote regional revitalization, etc., triggered by the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
