We are pleased to announce that our crowdfunding project "Antlers' Future Together 2025," implemented in 2025, has been nominated for the "READYFOR Fundraising Crowdfunding Impact Award 2026."

This series of initiatives has been recognized for its social impact, leading to its selection for this award from approximately 10,000 eligible projects.

"Antlers' Future Together 2025" Overview
■ Project Goal: Realizing a "development environment" that connects dreams across generations
Following the development of the junior youth (middle school age) environment in 2021, this project aims to establish a new dedicated ground for juniors (elementary school age) at a central location where all categories can gather.
・Adjacent environment promoting "skipping grades": We will develop a pitch continuous with the youth and top teams for junior players who do not have their own dedicated practice grounds. This will create a "world-class development environment" where they can regularly be aware of high standards and challenge themselves across category boundaries.
・Inherited "winning DNA": The new pitch will reuse turf from the renovation of the top team's practice ground. Future stars will chase their dreams on a pitch etched with the memories of professional players who sweated for victory.
