The Toyo Tires brand statement expresses our intent to be a company that values ​​the spirit of challenge, carving out our own way by: "Going down a path we have never travelled before.'' In May 2021, we decided to partner with the Japan Football Association because the challenges and dynamism of the Japanese national soccer team on the world stage are in line with our corporate stance. From this year we become a JFA Major Partner in addition to all categories of Japanese national teams, including Samurai Blue (Japan National Team) and Nadeshiko Japan (Japan Women's National Team), as well as players and the JFA in general, including training for coaches and referee activities.

For the first time, a Japanese national football match will be held on New Year's Day. The challenges of the Samurai Blue will begin at the very start of 2024, and Toyo Tires will work together to support the Japan National Soccer Team under the key message of "Run Blue, Passionate." .

At the opening ceremony, scheduled to take place inside the stadium, a centre circle banner featuring the Toyo Tires logo will be displayed, and during halftime, our Japan National Soccer Team promotional film "Blue, Hot, Run.'' will be broadcast. A Toyo Tires booth will be set up near the outer periphery of the stadium, offering original Japan National Soccer Team merchandise.
