We would like to announce that Eiyo Shimoda, who was slated to be promoted to the top team from the 2023 season, will be loaned to Iwaki FC on a two-year developmental loan (February 1, 2023 - January 31, 2025) starting from the same season.
This developmental loan for Shimoda is a collaborative effort with Iwaki FC aimed at developing young players. The goal is to promote a development plan where a player from our academy, who already understands the club's philosophy, will return as a more skilled player after strengthening his physique and gaining playing experience during his time at Iwaki FC.
