We have teamed up with the T League, which is not only the pinnacle of the domestic table tennis scene, but also has many players who play in international tournaments.

We will provide opportunities.
I also hope that more people will become interested not only in table tennis as a sport, but also in professional players and league matches, and that the world of table tennis will become even more exciting.
General Incorporated Association T League Kazuya Sakai Representative Director Chairman Comments
“We are very happy to have concluded a wellness partner agreement with Aeon Retail Co., Ltd.
Aeon Retail’s efforts to become a regional health hub and T League’s vision of “enriching lives through table tennis” have much in common, and we hope to help create a wellness society where both mind and body are healthy. I strongly feel that both companies can move forward towards this goal.
In addition, the initiative with Aeon Retail, which has many stores nationwide, will provide an opportunity for those who are not familiar with table tennis to be able to experience it, and will be a big step for the league in popularizing table tennis.
We will continue to plan to hold official games and health events at Aeon stores, but in the future, we would like to build strong relationships as we build up our track record and look to expand overseas to China and ASEAN. ”
