In this 57-minute film, the traditional rivalry between Japan and Europe expands into an intercontinental tournament.

After a fierce final match where Japan’s signature moves like Hyuga's Tiger Shot and Tsubasa's Drive Shot are tested, the Japanese team eventually triumphs through superior teamwork.

The film introduces the legendary "soccer cyborg" Carlos Santana , a supreme player for the South American team who initially seems undefeatable.

Features four elite youth teams: All Japan Jr. , United States Jr. , All Europe Jr. , and All South America Jr. .

(translated as "World Great Battle! Junior World Cup") is the fourth animated film in the original Captain Tsubasa series . Released in Japan on July 12, 1986 , it serves as the final installment of the original anime era. Key Details & Plot
