Love.futbol Japan, an NPO that works to change the environment for children who want to play soccer but are unable to play soccer safely due to economic poverty and social disparity, has one of its missions: Our mission is to pass on to the next generation a system that supports children in need of help. Therefore, in January 2021, we established “1% FOOTBALL CLUB” with the concept of “passing the love of soccer to the next generation.”
“1% FOOTBALL CLUB” is a program in which soccer players donate 1% of their annual salary and performance pay, and the soccer community involved in the soccer business donates 1% of their profits, which are used for activities to combat child poverty and inequality issues in soccer. Here’s how it works.

My name is Yasuji Miyoshi and I am a member of VfL Bochum in Germany. I will be participating in the activities of 1% FOOTBALL CLUB.
I usually live in Europe, and as I talk to athletes from various countries, I see how each athlete supports their own countries and their children. I myself started playing soccer from a young age due to the influence of my older brother, and with the support of my parents, I was able to continue playing soccer without any problems, but if for some reason I had been unable to continue playing soccer, I think my life would have changed drastically. .
However, when I heard that there are children in the world who cannot achieve that goal, I want as many children as possible to grow and have fun through soccer, just as I am someone whose life has been enriched through soccer. I hope that I can be of some help in creating that environment.
Let’s join forces with all our friends who love soccer and energize Japan through soccer!

“Children’s Soccer New Semester Support Project”
We aim to help children and young people in Japan who have given up on playing soccer or are worried about continuing to play soccer due to economic poverty and social disparities so that they can welcome the new school year with peace of mind and continue playing soccer. We provided a 50,000 yen stipend that can be used for soccer expenses, donated equipment, and held an empowerment exchange program where players interacted with players for six months to help with mental health issues. Over the past four years, we have provided more than 18 million yen in grants and provided support to approximately 1,600 children in 42 prefectures.
