The Japanese national basketball team begins the challenge to a new stage. Last month, it was announced that Tom Horvath would continue as head coach, and Horvath said, “Our work and journey is far from over, and I look forward to taking on the many challenges ahead.” . The team has steadily continued to evolve, winning the hearts of fans and making them enthusiastic, such as pushing the French national team, which won the silver medal at the Paris Olympics, one step closer. Four years later, the fight for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics begins again.

“Bringing sports diversity to this world.”
Player! is a platform where anyone can create their favorite sport, support it, and have fun.
Over the past 50 years, the sports industry has developed through the trinity of mass sports, mass media, and mass sponsors.
Sports with few fans cannot withstand national broadcasting, lack mass media coverage, lack mass sponsors, and become increasingly minor sports.
It was during the Showa and Heisei eras that a large disparity arose between mass sports and minor sports.
Is softball really a minor sport for the hard-working softball players and their mothers who support them?
Player! proposes a lifestyle that includes “my sports” rather than “mass sports.”
It’s like finding a city you like, living there, falling in love with it, and contributing to liven up the city. As for sports, it would be fun if you could find your own favorite sport, fall in love with that sport, and contribute to making that sport more popular. Player! creates a world where everyone can create their own favorite sport, support it, and have fun. Bringing sports diversity to this world.

In addition to professional teams, teams in various sports and categories operate daily in each region of Japan. Teams aiming for the professional category, teams competing in their own leagues, and student club activities at universities and high schools. These “local sports teams” involve the local community, connect with fans, and energize the local community. However, many local sports teams do not have as much staff or funding as professional teams. We have to manage many tasks with a small number of staff members, and we have to make do with little funds, so we have to focus more on keeping the team alive than making the team stronger and winning. . At ookami, our mission is to “bring one smile to the world through sports.” We proposed “Player! WHITE” because we wanted to maximize the potential value of local sports teams and free up more time for the things that really matter. Currently, it has been adopted by more than 200 teams, and we aim to expand further in the future.
