Regarding the Start of Sponsorship with KPMG FAS

The Japan Football Futsal Federation (Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Go Kitazawa) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a sponsorship agreement with KPMG FAS Corporation (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Hikaru Okada). This sponsorship is aimed at co-creating value, primarily through the university futsal initiatives promoted by the Japan Football Futsal Federation, and involves collaboration between both parties to enhance the competitive environment for university-aged players, foster human resource development, and promote community building. The Japan Football Futsal Federation, with its philosophy of "Creating Communities and Contributing to Society through Futsal," is dedicated to the development of futsal and the cultivation of a rich sports culture through the promotion of the sport and the hosting of various tournaments nationwide. In recent years, futsal has played a significant role not only as a competitive sport but also as a platform for community building that connects people across generations and regions. The university stage is a crucial period for not only improving athletic performance but also for expanding interactions with diverse individuals and connections with society, offering ample opportunities for growth as both athletes and future professionals. Through this sponsorship, KPMG FAS will support the Japan Football Futsal Federation's tournaments and outreach programs, while also promoting initiatives for creating new value through university futsal. Moving forward, we aim to create opportunities for students to learn, grow, and challenge their future, with consideration for implementing seminars and events targeting university students. The Japan Football Futsal Federation, in collaboration with KPMG FAS, aims to create more opportunities for people to engage with futsal, foster the development of next-generation talent, promote and advance the sport, and build a sustainable sports environment.
