About
SPOGOMI
SPOGOMI is a completely new sport originating in Japan that adds the essence of “sports” to the traditional garbage pick-up that companies and organizations engage in, transforming conventional social service activities into “competitions”.
Invented in 2008 by the representative of Social Sports Initiative, Mamitsuka Kenichi, under the slogan,
Trash pickup is a sport!
SpoGomi Canada
SPOGOMI Canada was established in 2023 in response to the launch of the SPOGOMI World Cup.
Driven by a shared passion for environmental action, a group of like-minded individuals came together to bring this unique, eco-friendly sport to Canada. Their goal: to inspire Canadians to take part in a meaningful competition that raises awareness about litter pollution, ocean conservation, and climate action—while promoting teamwork, fitness, and community engagement.
SPOGOMI Canada is dedicated to gathering passionate participants from across the country to compete, clean, and represent Canada on the world stage. Through local competitions and national finals, we aim to showcase Canada’s commitment to environmental responsibility and bring people together to make a real impact—one piece of litter at a time.
