Sponsorship of the Bid
We are honoured to have been selected as an Official Bid Partner.
Ever since its establishment in 1998, adidas Japan has enjoyed a strong partnership with the Japan Football Association. We have provided a range of support in addition to supplying the official uniforms for the Japan national team, the Nadeshiko Japan women's team, and the youth teams. We are proud to think of the “Samurai Blue” players in their adidas uniforms going out and shaking things up on the global stage at this year's FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa.
As a global company, adidas has a special relationship with the FIFA World Cup™ as an official tournament sponsor, supplier, and licensee. As a leader of world football, we see contributing to the development of Japanese football as a crucial part of our mission. Japanese players are surely and steadily raising their skill level, and Japan being appointed host country in 2022 would definitely help Japanese football make another major leap ahead.
True to our brand vision that “Our passion for sport will make the world a better place,” we are actively engaged in a range of social contribution activities through football and other sports. We have actively been involved in donating profits generated from the sale of mini balls at our directly-managed stores to Right to Play, an international humanitarian organisation which delivers education on life-skills and peace as well as health and hygiene improvements to children and communities suffering from the impact of war, poverty, or disease. In our role as a national partner of the Japan office of the Special Olympics, an international sports organisation which offers sports training and the use of sports grounds to the mentally disabled, we are providing them sportswear and volunteer support at sports grounds. Committed to doing our duty by society and the environment, we are also nurturing sport at the local level, and are a vigorous supporter of activities that are pivotal to the healthy development of young people.
In conclusion, let me say that, inspired by our brand message “Impossible Is Nothing,” we at adidas Japan will do our utmost together with you to win the FIFA World Cup™ for Japan.
