Cygames Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President: Koichi Watanabe), which plans, develops, and operates games, is a company that is promoting the regional revitalization support tax system (corporate version of hometown tax) promoted by the Cabinet Office. ), we made a donation to Saga City’s “Energetic City Through Sports Project.” The donations will be used to improve the Saga City Health Sports Center Soccer/Rugby Field, which is the training base for the professional sports team Sagan Tosu U-18. ■Background of donation The “Sports-Energetic Town Project” aims to encourage citizens to get involved in sports in various ways such as “playing,” “watching,” and “supporting,” and to use the power of sports to create a vibrant city. This is a project that supports the activities of Cygames is based on the idea that increasing local people’s motivation to support Sagan Tosu and fostering civic pride will lead to regional
revitalization, so in 2017 Cygames launched a project to improve the attractiveness of Tosu City through stadium renewal, and in 2022. We have supported and donated to the “Creating a New Sports Scene Project with You” based on the Saga Prefecture SSP (SAGA Sports Pyramid) initiative. The donations made so far have been used for the renovation of Sagan Tosu’s stadium and the preparation of the U-15 junior youth practice field. We hope that this donation to Saga City’s “Sports-Energetic City Project” will help promote sports in the city and develop the community. ■Summary of Sagan Tosu U-18 training base development The artificial turf field at the “Saga City Health Sports Center Soccer/Rugby Field”, which is the training base for Sagan Tosu U-18, has been in place for 10 years, and the cushioning properties of the artificial turf have deteriorated, causing damage to the players’ legs and hips. In addition to increasing the burden on players, controlling the rise in temperature on the field in the summer is also an issue. We will strive to improve the practice environment (facility renovations) to address these issues.
