Welcome To The Japan-Honduras Sports Friendship Society
Both Japan and Honduras Are Sporting Nations
Welcome to The Japan-Honduras Sports Friendship Society, an organization based in Honduras which is focused on establishing friendship between the people of Japan and Honduras through sports.
Both the people of Japan and the people of Honduras love sports. The people of Honduras who love sports such as football, basketball and volleyball want to create positive friendships with the people of Japan who also love these sports. Thus a group of Honduras are facilitating the Japan Honduras Sport Friendship Society.
This was inspired by a recent visit to Honduras of four
Japanese who brought used soccer ball and soccer shirts to the children of
Honduras. The soccer balls were donated by Hokkaido Football Club. Soccer shirts were
donated by the Hokkaido Football Club. Pens
for children were donated by
Nippon Ham Baseball Team. Used clothing was
collected by Wakematsu school. The money for the travel to Honduras
was raised in a sustainable way by the students of the Wakematsu school. .
These acts of friendship touched us in Honduras very deeply. We realized that the people of Japan were interested in our sports activities. Because of the donations we could see the people of Japan were caring, nurturing people. We felt an immediate kinship because of our mutual love for our youth and for the sport of soccer. We were so moved that we decided we did not want this beginning of friendship between our two countries to die. We decided to form a Japan-Honduras Sport Friendship Society to enable this kinship to grow and flourish.

There is a long history of friendship between Japan and Honduras. Diplomatic relations were established in February 1932. Import export between Japan and Honduras is steadily growing. Indeed there is a great deal of Japanese investment in Honduras. After the Hurricane Mitch disaster, Japan sent emergency assistance, including support through the sending of Japanese Self-Defense Forces Units. They came as a Japanese Disaster Relief Team to Honduras. Japan maintains an embassy and a consulate in Honduras. There is a Honduran consulate in Japan.
Japan Has Provided Much Aid To Honduras
A major problem of
developing countries is the overhanging, overwhelming debt the face.
There is a tremendous need for relief from this debt. The
government of Japan forgave all of Honduras'
$444 million bilateral debt to it in 2005. The
action was taken to support Honduras' anit-poverty programs. The money was
originally loaned to Honduras to fund public works and other development
projects. The Government of Japan has also decided to extend non-project
grant aid totaling 1.39 billion yen to the Republic of Honduras for
assistance of underprivileged farmers in the country.
There have been 70 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
There is a long standing bond of friendship between these
two nations because of their mutual understanding. State and high level
visits between Japan and Honduras have strengthened these ties.
We in the world of football are opening doors as well through the development of the Japan-Honduras Sports Friendship Society. We hope to stimulate the development of friendly games and tournaments. We also invite teams and groups in Honduras to participate in our soccer gear donation project to provide private sector cross cultural friendship and sharing. We plan many projects including guided tours in Honduras and travel to Japan by groups from Honduras.
