The 2025 All Japan High School Soccer Tournament (第104回全国高等学校サッカー選手権大会; All Japan JFA 104th High School Soccer Tournament) will be the 104th edition of the referred annually contested cup for High Schools over Japan, being contested by the winning schools of the 48 prefectural qualifications. The defending champions are Maebashi Ikuei, who won the previous tournament beating in the final Chiba's RKU Kashiwa on penalty shoot-outs. As the norm, from the first round to the quarterfinals, matches have a duration of 80 minutes, split into two halves of 40 minutes each. The semi-finals and the final, however, are the only ones to match the standard match length of professional football, with the duration of 90 minutes, split into two halves of 45 minutes each. During the tournament, should a match be tied, it directly requires penalty shoot-outs, except for the final, where extra-time is played if the match remains tied on regulation time.
