Deliver the ball! MY FOOTBALL KIT was delivered to children in Ishikawa Prefecture with funds raised from an event co-sponsored by JFA and Molten.

In July 2024, we held an event called “Summer Vacation Free Research 2024: SDGs through Soccer in JFA Dream Field” with the Japan Football Association (JFA).This year, a total of 190 people participated over the two days, learning about “The Secret of the Soccer Ball” and the SDGs.This is the ninth time the event has been held since it began in 2015.Using a portion of the event participation fee and the proceeds from the sale of “BALL KIT” we delivered about 50 “BALL KIT” assembled soccer balls, to children in Noto, Ishikawa Prefecture.

－What made JFA decide to use MY FOOTBALL KIT for support activities?

JFA has long been involved in activities to realize the SDGs and social contributions.Our goal is to provide everyone, from children to adults, with the opportunity to have fun, grow, and experience various things through soccer.We decided to hold this event because MY FOOTBALL KIT's activities match the JFA's philosophy.

－How did you feel about attending the event?

In fact, it was great to see the children learning about the secrets of the soccer ball, the SGDs, and the importance of having dreams.
It was also good that the event was held at Dream Field, a base for promoting and strengthening soccer.

―Please give us one comment for the children of Noto.

Soccer is a sport that can be enjoyed by all regardless of age, gender, region or race.
This time, in a joint project with Molten, we delivered MY FOOTBALL KIT to people in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture.
We hope that this will be an opportunity for children to get in touch with a ball, move their bodies, and enjoy playing soccer!
