NASEF Japan will hold a press conference on June 30 to announce the outline of the 4th All Japan High School eSports Championship, the organization confirmed on June 23. The tournament design comes from an executive committee formed with high school eSports club advisor teachers, a shift from previous years. The committee has been discussing the structure since April, when NASEF Japan set a goal of 5,000 participating teams by 2030 and said it wants the championship to emphasize educational value.
Alongside the tournament outline, NASEF Japan will announce a new certification system for training external instructors and specialized personnel to support high school eSports clubs, addressing the coaching challenges those clubs face. The press conference will take place offline at eXeField Akiba in Akihabara, with some executive committee teachers joining online.
