Comment from Tsuneyasu Miyamoto, Chairman, JFA
We are very pleased to have ITO, a pioneer in physical therapy equipment, as a JFA supporter.
ITO has provided their equipment such as low-frequency electrotherapy devices to the Prince Takamado Memorial JFA YUME Field and the JFA Medical Center, the activity base for the Japanese national team, to support conditioning and treatment of players and referees.
Physical care and conditioning are essential to achieve the best performance in soccer. I am confident that this agreement will enable many players from the developmental age to the top category to play in better condition, leading to further improvement of Japanese soccer.
Comment from Tsukasa Kurahashi, President, ITO
Since our founding in 1916, we, ITO CO., LTD., have been developing medical devices utilizing physical energy such as electrostimulation, ultrasound, and shortwave. In recent years, particularly in the field of sports, we have been conducting daily research with medical professionals and trainers not only to ensure early recovery from injuries but also to reduce injury risks and help them perform better.
With this background, we have concluded this partnership with the JFA, with the desire for players to fully exert the strength cultivated through daily training and to give their all on the big stage.
We are pleased that this contract allows us to support competitive activities across a wide range of generations, from the developmental age to top players, and we hope that many players can play in optimal condition.
