Paris-Saint Germain’s football club has a strong presence in Japan, with fan clubs, shops and an academy in the country. In 2022 the footballers travelled to Japan for a pre-season tour for the first time, and they repeated the trip this year ahead of the start of the Ligue 1 season.

But this year, the footballers were joined by their handballing colleagues. PSG spent a week in Tokyo, playing two friendly games against local teams and creating memories that will remain strong for some time.
