Harry Kane invests in TOCA Football and calls it "vision for the future"

Harry Kane believes TOCA Football has a "vision for the future" of the game after investing in the football training and entertainment company.

The England captain has pledged to bring his expertise to TOCA and help the company expand to a global audience. TOCA is the largest operator of indoor football centres in the US and has launched TOCA Social - the world's first 'football and entertainment dining venue' - at London's O2 Arena. The company plans to open more TOCA Social venues in Edinburgh, Birmingham and Dallas next year.

Kane has endorsed TOCA's 'proprietary technology and programs', which helps players fulfil their potential. TOCA was founded by former Leeds, Fulham, Preston and Derby winger Eddie Lewis, who represented the US at two World Cups in 2002 and 2006.

"I invested in TOCA because I wholeheartedly believe in the company," said Kane. "TOCA offers unmatched technologies which help players improve and immersive entertainment experiences which are fun for everyone. I am delighted to support TOCA's global expansion and share its vision for the future of soccer, the sport I love."

TOCA's CEO Yoshi Maruyama added: "Harry is a true soccer legend and an incredible global ambassador for soccer. His love and passion for the game matched with his forward-thinking vision about the sport and developing the players of the future, is a great representation of what TOCA is all about."

TOCA's co-chairman Erik Anderson continued: "TOCA is revolutionizing the way players and fans around the world experience soccer, the world's most popular sport. Harry's contribution to TOCA will be significant to our mission to make TOCA an integral and indispensable part of soccer."

Meanwhile, England captain Kane is confident the Three Lions can win the World Cup in Qatar later this year. Gareth Southgate's side picked up just two points from their four Nations League fixtures in June, suffering an embarrassing 4-0 home defeat to Hungary at Molineux on Tuesday evening.

"We'll be going into this World Cup as probably one of the favourites," Kane recently said. "We've learnt a lot since last summer and the tournament before that as well. Obviously, we got to the semi-final in the last World Cup and then the final of the Euros.

"Success is always to try and win, to try and win this tournament. And we're growing in confidence, you know, with the experiences that we've had in the other major tournaments.

"We're used to playing games in the Premier League, November, December. Sometimes, when you're playing in June and you've had a long Premier League season, it's hard.

"It will be strange of course, it will be the first time it's been done, but having it in November and December, you are kind of just going straight into it from the Premier League. Hopefully, that can work in our favour."
