For Those Considering Applying | Messages from Students Participating in the 2025 Season

"If anyone is even a little interested in this program, I definitely want you to take a step forward and apply. I myself felt great anxiety about challenging a new environment as a university student, but now I truly feel 'I'm really glad I applied.' I was able to experience the behind-the-scenes operations of a soccer club up close and gained many learnings and inspirations that I couldn't get in university life. This is a program I strongly recommend to those who want to grow through new challenges and those who want to expand their potential."

In the TOKYO GROW WITH program, I had the experience of seeing FC Tokyo not from the perspective of a fan, but as a business staff member of the club. Especially from the viewpoint of merchandise, I realized that it is necessary to observe the fans and supporters who come to the stadium more closely than before, and I also felt the importance of following trends. After experiencing this program, I think it is recommended for those who want to actively share their observations and constantly come up with many ideas. I also realized that the ability to honestly give back the perspective of a fan to the club is something I need myself.

"Through this program, I was able to learn not only from the perspective of 'enjoying' sports but also from the viewpoint of 'supporting it as a business' through daily tasks and activities on site. Working alongside the staff, I experienced firsthand that club management is built on the accumulation of daily operations, which I felt is a major appeal of this program. For those who love sports and want to deepen their understanding from a business perspective, I believe this is an unparalleled experience. I highly encourage anyone interested to take on this challenge."

"Highly recommended for those who want to gain practical experience in the field of sports business. Beyond the role of a student, I was able to gain valuable experience handling responsibilities as a business staff member. By taking initiative, you can challenge yourself in a wide range of areas in a supportive environment. For those who love soccer, want to apply their passion on the ground, or want to jump into a new environment and grow, I believe this is the best place. Let's take on the challenge together! We look forward to welcoming you!"

"I believe this is a very valuable opportunity to truly experience the challenges and rewards of managing a club like FC Tokyo and organizing events such as matches. Through this program, I think there were aspects of operational ingenuity and the dedication of the business staff that I could only realize by actually being involved firsthand. Whether you are a fan of FC Tokyo, interested in the sports industry, or looking to take on new challenges during your student life, please consider applying."
