Isagi Yoichi , a striker, receives an invitation to this program shortly after his team lost the chance to go to the nationals.

Their coach Ego Jinpachi , who aims to "end Japan's failed football" by introducing a radical new training regime: isolating 300 young strikers in a prison-like institution called "Blue Lock" and putting them through rigorous training with the goal of creating "the best striker in the world."
