The Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau provides a wide range of support for meeting and event planners who are considering Osaka as their next event destination. Osaka is bolstered by a support body made up of Osaka prefecture, the city of Osaka, and the local economic sector. The OCTB values the positive social impacts of sports and works to encourage people to become fans of all forms to bring their passion to Osaka. It is in this spirit that we proudly support this event.

What is The Corporate Games?

Born in the UK in the 1980s, the Corporate Games is a global sports festival that has been held in over 85 cities across 37 countries, with more than one million participants to date. Previously been held in Tokyo, Osaka, and Okinawa, the Corporate Games will be returning to Japan after 6 years due to the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The event will feature 11 different sports: full relay marathon, half relay marathon, futsal, baseball, 3x3 basketball, dodgeball, tug-of-war, jump rope, table tennis, and boccia.

The Corporate Games is open to everyone. Beyond simply enjoying sports and promoting health, it also serves as a tool for corporate health management, employee welfare, team building, communication, and regional revitalization.
