We have concluded a partnership agreement with Japan. Under this partnership agreement, the FCS children’s soccer support program “Goal for Good” will be implemented at e-sports tournaments hosted by SIS, with the aim of solving problems in the soccer world. When holding an e-sports tournament/FCS tournament, we set up a trial area for the soccer game used in the tournament for facility visitors, and it has been well received, with 100 to 250 people playing the game each day. In this program, the new season will start soon in FCS25. 1. Total number of goals scored in the online final qualifying round x 10 yen 2.

We will implement a program with a maximum goal of 500,000 yen for the entire FCS25 season. While FCS works to promote the competitive and industrialization of e-sports and soccer, most of our players, staff, and visitors are also fans who love soccer. By providing young people with new access to soccer through games, FCS also aims to contribute to the soccer world as a whole, transcending the boundaries between esports and real sports. Through this partnership, we will support love.fútbol Japan’s activities to change the environment for children who enjoy soccer as an organization that hopes for the development of the soccer industry.

One of them is child poverty and social disparity in the Japanese soccer world. • After his parents divorced and his father passed away, he became a single-parent household and could not afford to let him play soccer. • They are unable to receive support from their parents, who are suffering both physically and financially due to illness. • Due to the coronavirus pandemic, his income has decreased, making it difficult for him to continue playing soccer. The reality is that there are more families than we imagined who are forced to give up their children’s favorite soccer for various reasons. However, of course children want to continue playing soccer, and more importantly, parents do not want to deprive their children of the opportunity to do what they love. Image

We are implementing an empowerment program where people can find a place to belong, gain confidence, and gain companionship by interacting with each other. Over the past four years, we have provided more than 18 million yen in incentives, and achieved the result of providing support to approximately 1,600 children in 42 prefectures. However, we are aware that support is not keeping up with the increase in the number of people requesting support, and we would like to help solve the future problems of soccer through our activities as a soccer game and community tournament. ■Comment from love.fútbol Japan We have decided to partner with the “FC Community Series”.
