ECX Group Partners with SHIBUYA CITY FC

In an exciting development for both the business and sports communities, ECX Group, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has formalized a platinum sponsorship agreement with SHIBUYA CITY FC, which is operated by PLAYNEW, located in Shibuya, Tokyo. This partnership aligns perfectly with ECX Group's vision of empowering e-commerce in Japan, which is represented through their commitment to support local enterprises.

Background of the Partnership

ECX Group has embraced the motto, "Bringing Infinite Possibilities to Japanese Commerce," and has continuously worked towards enhancing the success of e-commerce businesses across the country. With SHIBUYA CITY FC's mission, "To create the most exciting football club in the world from Shibuya," ECX Group saw a synergistic opportunity to contribute to the community and sports culture. This sponsorship not only aims to elevate SHIBUYA CITY FC's profile but also to foster local economic growth through the power of sports.

ECX Group’s Commitment to the Community

Shōhei Shimizu, President of ECX Group, stated, “Our subsidiary, Japan EC Services, was established in Shibuya and continues to operate its membership support service, the EC Masters Club, from our headquarters in Shibuya. We provide these services to online shops across all 47 prefectures in Japan. In November 2023, we are vying for a management integration with Greenwich Corporation, thereby expanding our support to over 5,000 companies nationwide. Next year, we plan to relocate our ECX headquarters to Shibuya. It is imperative for us to assist the online shops still facing challenges throughout Japan. Thus, we wish to grow together with SHIBUYA CITY FC, which is why we entered into this new sponsorship agreement."

About SHIBUYA CITY FC

SHIBUYA CITY FC aspires to reach the J-League and is characterized by its ambition to leverage Shibuya's dynamic nature for football. It stands out for its unique and playful engagement both on and off the pitch. The club aims to assemble an innovative football experience that resonates with the spirit of Shibuya. The upcoming 2025 season will see the young, energetic players guided by Coach Tatsuya Mashima—who has previously garnered three major domestic titles—striving for promotion to the first division of the Kanto League.

SHIBUYA CITY FC also spearheads various urban football festivals, such as the FOOTBALL JAM, which takes over venues around Shibuya Station, and collaborative initiatives like the community contribution project “Connecting 30 People in Shibuya.” Through these efforts, the club is dedicated to enhancing local engagement and promoting community-driven activities.
