Amateur Soccer Club TRANK SHONAN Announces Four New Sponsorship Agreements

SKY.U Inc., operator of TRANK SHONAN, announced that four official partners will join them for the current season. The club espouses a unique philosophy: "Be an amateur soccer player and a professional business athlete." It aims to provide both on-pitch victory and professional growth in a business environment, defining this as a true "dual career" for working adults, students aspiring to be pros, and young players at a career crossroads. Under the slogan "BEYOND THE FIELD," five active J-League players, including Daiki Sugioka and Takahiro Ko, participate in the club's management. The club aims to present a new model for athletes where students and working adults can grow together. The program supports students by providing practical business experience and aids all players in achieving professional independence through business skills gained from the operating company's sales support projects. The involvement of J-League players ensures the quality of play and imparts a professional perspective on the value of being an athlete. The newly announced partners for this season, who share this vision, are Yoshizawa Architectural Structural Design Inc., EvolveU Inc., A-B Consultant Inc., and Jiyu Inc.
