Special class by FC Tokyo held atHachioji Campus

On Thursday, July 17, 2025, a special class was held at Teikyo University's Hachioji Campus by the professional soccer team FC Tokyo. Teikyo University has an official partnership agreement with FC Tokyo, providing an environment where students can learn about sports business through lectures by FC Tokyo club staff and through initiatives related to social contribution activities. The class was taught Professor Fumio Tsukahara of the Department of Sports Faculty of Medical Technology Department of Sport and Medical Science, Assistant Professor Satoshi Iwamura of the same department, and Associate Professor Toshio Kumai of Department of Business Administration, Faculty Faculty of Economics.

The lecture, which was themed "Thinking about the Future of the Region with FC Tokyo," featured Tatsushi Shichino of FC Tokyo's Partner Business Division and Shoichiro Tanaka, Director of the Marketing Division and Area Promotion Department, with Shichino providing an overview of the J.League, its growth, and FC Tokyo's vision, while Tanaka spoke about promotional measures aimed at fans and the local community. A question-and-answer session was set aside in the second half of the lecture, during which students were able to hear directly from staff involved in the management of a professional sports team about FC Tokyo's current situation and challenges from a sports management perspective, providing a valuable learning opportunity for the students.

Our university will continue to provide opportunities to learn directly about FC Tokyo's club management and create opportunities to learn about sports business through Practical learning.
