Announcement of Uniform Sponsorship Agreement with Konoike Group

FC BASARA Mainz is pleased to announce that KONOIKE Group will be our uniform sponsor starting from the 2025/26 season. The entire club is extremely delighted to receive their support from this season and to form a new partnership.

Mr. Tadatsugu Konoike, Senior Managing Executive Officer of KONOIKE Group, was deeply impressed by Germany's advanced Industry 4.0. Starting from nothing, he ventured to Germany with just a single bag and has since expanded his business there.

Mr. Konoike's pioneering challenge in Germany, risking his entire life, and the KONOIKE Group's ambition to take on challenges on the global stage, strongly resonate with our own aspirations.
As fellow challengers on the European stage, we will continue to move forward together under a strong partnership.

【Comments on the Sponsorship Agreement】

＜Tadatsugu Konoike, Director, Senior Managing Executive Officer, Head of Overseas Business and Technology Innovation＞

KONOIKE Group has become a sponsor of FC Basara Mainz, and we are delighted to welcome Manager Shinji Okazaki as the official ambassador. We strongly empathize with the team's philosophy of "producing world-class talent" and the players' attitude of creating their own opportunities and challenging the world. We, the KONOIKE Group, are also transforming into a company that can compete on par with global top players, driven by the indomitable spirit forged in the field.

Manager Okazaki's challenge of starting his managerial career from scratch after retiring as a player perfectly aligns with our transformation mindset. As a company, we will accompany young talents in their pursuit of shining on the world stage and strive together for mutual improvement.
