Toca says that the funds will allow it to launch further sites in London, UK and Paris, France, as well as in Mexico and the US. The money will also be invested in new technology for its venues.

Kane originally invested in Toca in 2022 and is also a brand ambassador for the company.

Toca’s CEO, Yoshi Maruyama, said: “Soccer is the world’s most popular sport with massive tailwinds for growth in the US.

“This new capital infusion empowers us to scale our brand and to bring our cutting-edge training methods and immersive experiences to millions of guests around the world.”

Toca currently has two sites, both in the UK, in London and Birmingham, while a third site is set to open in Dallas, Texas, US, soon.
