[Tachikawa Athletic FC] June 22 (Mon) "Athle All-School Support Project supported by MetLife Life Insurance" to be held!!

Tachikawa Athletic FC (Headquarters: Tachikawa, Tokyo; Representative Director: Akira Minamoto) is a futsal club in the F-League that operates based in Tachikawa with the philosophy of 'Giving life a big dream and every day a small color through sports.' We are pleased to announce that for the MetLife Life Insurance F-League 2026-27 Div. 1 Section 4 match against Boaluz Nagano on June 22 (Mon), we will implement the 'Athle All-School Support Project supported by MetLife Life Insurance' with MetLife as the match day sponsor.

### What is the 'Athle All-School Support Project supported by MetLife Life Insurance'? The 'Athle All-School Support Project supported by MetLife Life Insurance' is a project targeting elementary schools in Tachikawa, the hometown of Tachikawa Athletic FC.

### Why implement this project? The purpose of this project is to create opportunities for children living in Tachikawa to experience firsthand that there is a professional sports team in their community and to foster a sense of hometown pride. - Top-level matches are held at their local arena. - There is a professional sports team in their town that competes nationwide and continues to challenge itself to become the best in Japan and the world. By experiencing these facts, we hope it will be an opportunity for them to feel: 'There is something to be proud of in my town.' 'Tachikawa is a great city.' In addition, we hope this experience will serve as a catalyst for interest in futsal and other sports.

### Participating Schools - Tachikawa Municipal No. 8 Elementary School - Tachikawa Municipal Wakabadai Elementary School

### Supported by F-League Title Partner MetLife Life Insurance This project will be implemented with the support of MetLife Life Insurance, the title partner of the F-League. Tachikawa Athletic FC and MetLife aim to provide opportunities for local children to experience sports and create a place to cultivate affection for their hometown. Through this initiative, we will contribute to the healthy growth of children and the further revitalization of the region.

### Comment from Representative Director Akira Minamoto We believe that the extraordinary space of a match venue—the impact, tension, and sense of unity—will be a special place of learning for children. And in the future, when they become adults, I want them to occasionally remember: 'When I was in elementary school, I watched professional sports in my hometown, Tachikawa.' Just having that memory remain somewhere in their hearts makes this initiative deeply meaningful. We hope it will be a chance for children who haven't had much exposure to sports to experience professional sports and find interest. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Tachikawa Municipal No. 8 Elementary School and Wakabadai Elementary School for their cooperation. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to MetLife Life Insurance, the F-League title partner, for their deep understanding and warm support of this project.
