AICJ Girls' Soccer Team Takes a Bold Step
The AICJ High School Girls' Soccer Team is poised to make history, as they launch a crowdfunding campaign titled "Tales of Weaving the Best in Japan: AICJ’s Challenge to the Top!" on Spportunity, a sports-focused crowdfunding platform. This initiative aims to support the team's upcoming participation in the 34th All Japan High School Girls' Soccer Championship, beginning on December 29. With a legacy of seven consecutive appearances at this prestigious tournament, the team is eager to elevate their past best performance of reaching the quarterfinals to new heights this year.
Background and Aspirations
This year marks a significant milestone with the team's seventh consecutive entry into the national championship. Each year has presented its challenges, and the team narrowly missed advancing beyond the quarterfinals in previous attempts. However, under the guidance of Coach Junichi Ogawa, players feel a renewed sense of purpose and confidence. The funds raised through this crowdfunding effort will primarily be directed towards travel expenses and accommodations for their journeys to enhance their performance, with trips planned for competition in Kobe and training camps in Miyazaki and Kansai.
With only one microbus available for the team, transporting 40 players and staff members safely has become a pressing concern. Previously, individual athletes bore approximately 30,000 yen each for travel costs, a burden that has become increasingly unsustainable over the years. This year, the financial weight feels greater than ever, and the team's plea for community support is more crucial. As they pursue their dreams of reaching the pinnacle of women's high school soccer in Japan, every contribution from supporters will serve as a powerful catalyst for their journey.
