THE NIPPON FOUNDATION SPOGOMI WORLD CUP 2025 CANADA Qualifiers – Mississauga Round

What is SPOGOMI?
SPOGOMI is a competitive eco-sport where teams of three (3) participants race against the clock to collect and sort litter, earning points based on type and quantity. It’s a fast-paced, team-based challenge that turns environmental action into an exciting competition!

How the Competition Works:
🌍 Preliminary Round – Mississauga: Compete in teams of 3 for a chance to advance!
🏆 Finals – Top 30 Teams: The top 15 teams from each preliminary round will move on to the final showdown.
✈️ Grand Prize – Team Canada: The winning team will represent Canada in Japan in October 2025, with travel & accommodations fully covered!
🌟 Bonus: At the SPOGOMI World Cup, even more prizes are up for grabs! For example, in 2023, the UK Team won the World Cup and received ¥1,000,000 JPY (approx. $9,000 CAD) and eco-themed gifts.

Community Benefit:

This initiative not only encourages environmental responsibility but also fosters community connection, youth engagement, and local activism. Through friendly competition and teamwork, participants will gain a deeper awareness of litter pollution in their own neighborhoods—empowering the community to take collective action toward a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable Mississauga.
