Background and Motivation Behind the Crowdfunding
Established in 2025, Tomoshibi FC is quickly making a name for itself in the FOOTBALL 7 SOCIETY LEAGUE. Now competing in the Kantō fourth division, their focus is on achieving promotion to the third division by the end of the season. The dream of becoming world champions will require significant financial resources to cover travel expenses for the team, along with funding for year-round operational costs such as promotional expenses and personnel salaries.
