The Emperor’s Cup is a prestigious basketball tournament in Japan, featuring teams from various categories, including high school students and professionals. This year, the 100th Emperor’s Cup Second Round will take place at the Hiroshima Green Arena in Hiroshima City from Saturday, September 21st to Monday, September 23rd (holiday).
The tournament promises to be an exciting event, with strong B1 teams participating, including the Chiba Jets, featuring former NBA player Watanabe Yuta, and the Yokohama B-Corsairs. The Hiroshima Dragonflies, who won the B League, are exempt from the preliminaries and will be looking to make a strong impression.
Tickets for the tournament are valid for one day and can be purchased on the B.League website or at the DoraFura Shop. Tickets will also be available for purchase on the day at the venue.

The Hiroshima Dragonflies participated in the tournament last year and lost to a lower-ranked team called “B3”. This highlights the challenges that even strong B1 teams face in the Emperor’s Cup.
One of the benefits of attending the tournament is that a single ticket allows spectators to watch all four games on a given day, making it a great value for basketball fans.
