Ricoh Black Rams Tokyo Launches Crowdfunding for Playoff Bid

Ricoh Black Rams Tokyo is gearing up for an important season as they participate in the Japan Rugby League One (Division 1). With aspirations to make the playoffs, the team has turned to the community for support through an exciting crowdfunding initiative. Beginning February 7, 2026, the campaign titled “Support the Players with #ChiaChia Banners” will run until March 1, 2026.

The Power of Community Support

The motivation behind this crowdfunding effort is to engage fans in a meaningful way, creating a new atmosphere in the stadium for both players and supporters. The cheer and encouragement from the stands serve as a vital source of strength for the players on the field. The Black Rams aim to not only deliver thrilling rugby action but also to uplift the lives of those who support them.

The #ChiaChia Banners project symbolizes this connection, embodying the passionate hearts of fans. By displaying these banners in the stadium, supporters will literally have their sentiments uplifted, enhancing the collective experience in the arena.

Project Goals and Financial Needs

The crowdfunding campaign has set an ambitious target of 1,000,000 yen to ensure the success of this project. The funds raised will go toward creating the #ChiaChia Banners and contributing to the operational costs of the team, as well as supporting community and social initiatives linked with Rugby.

Rewarding Backers

Among the exciting rewards for backers, the Silver Course offers a signed #ChiaChia Banner that will be displayed in the stadium. This unique keepsake represents a direct connection to the team’s journey and commitment to fan engagement.
