Toyo Tires. Platinum Partner of Gamba Osaka, will host a "Partner Day" at their J1 League home game against Nagoya Grampus on Saturday, April 12th. The match, the 10th round of the league, will take place at the Panasonic Stadium, Gamba Osaka's home ground, in Suita City, Osaka.

Gamba Osaka is one of the 10 traditional clubs that have been members of the J.League since its inception in 1993. Toyo Tires has been supporting the team as a Platinum Partner since 2016. A "TOYO TIRES Partner Day" is held every season, where the two partners aim to demonstrate the unity of their cooperation through enhanced visibility in the stadium with a variety of special projects supporting the players on the field and encouraging their success.

Starting with the 2022 "TOYO TIRES Partner Day*," the event has been named "Ichi-gan," refering to the unity of people involved with Gamba Osaka and sharing Gamba Osaka's ambition for victory. Taking the motto of "Ichi-gan," to symbolise uniting our hearts, appealing for victory and the Gamba family coming together, Toyo Tires will implement a variety of animations on the Partner day.

At this year's "TOYO TIRES Partner Day," the following animations are planned to enhance the Gamba family sense of "Ichi-gan."

■ Stadium Plans
Inside the stadium, a customary large banner balloon will be hoisted and the LED sign behind the goal will be changed to an "Ichi-gan" version to encourage enthusiastic cheering for the players.

In addition, a TOYO TIRES booth will be set up near the main entrance on the outer perimeter of the stadium. A large photo spot with an "Ichi-gan" motif will be set up, and those who complete a questionnaire will receive a "TOYO TIRES original novelty item."
