New Year's Greetings from Chairman Takashi Yamashita
Happy New Year! We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support of FC Basara Mainz. Last year, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of the club's founding. As we reflected on our journey so far, we reaffirmed that we have been supported by many people. In 2025, the 11th year since the club's founding, we will turn your support into strength and continue to make further progress. Furthermore, since last year, we have welcomed former Japan national team player Shinji Okazaki as our coach, and under this new system, the club is undergoing a major transformation. Under Coach Okazaki's leadership, the entire club is united and continues to strive towards achieving its goals. In the league, we are currently in the middle of the standings, and we are facing a tough battle to move up to the top ranks. However, we are making steady progress step by step and pursuing the club's ideals. We will further strengthen our efforts to create an environment where players can have confidence and perform at their best. We are also very pleased and encouraged by the increasing number of sponsors who are supporting us. We promise to grow even more as a club in response to your warm support. We kindly ask for your continued warm support this year as well, as we watch over the club's development and the players' challenges. Let's fight together again this year and create an exciting year.
