Legia Warsaw
Dariusz Mioduski Owner
"We are very proud to have formed this partnership between FC Tokyo, a strong club in Japan, and us, Legia Warsaw. Importantly, FC Tokyo is a club in the capital of Japan, and Legia Warsaw is also a club in the capital of Poland. I feel that this is meaningful not only as a partnership between the two clubs but also as a partnership between the capitals of the two countries. Not only FC Tokyo, but the J-League is receiving high interest in Poland and Europe. I believe this partnership will be a significant step for both parties. Secondly, it is about developing young players. We are confident in our ability to nurture young talent. FC Tokyo is also skilled at developing young players. I believe that exchanging experiences and knowledge regarding player development will lead to wonderful results for both of us."

Additionally, there are various talented players in Europe, and I believe that partnering with Legia Warsaw provides us with the chance to exchange information and collaborate. I hope that various initiatives and achievements will emerge from this. As a club in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, we see this as our first step in sharing various initiatives.
