Kick-off for a Bright Future: JEF United Chiba's Crowdfunding Initiative Begins Today!

As of 19:00 today, the JEF United Ichihara Chiba has officially launched its crowdfunding campaign titled "Kick-off for a Future from Funabashi, from JEF United." This project, organized by Spportunity, a Tokyo-based company specializing in sports crowdfunding, aims to gain vital support for the club's growth and development. The initiative highlights how the JEF United community can come together to ensure a bright future for the club and its players.

The campaign comes with exciting perks for donors, including autographed posters of the J1 promotion playoff semifinals, signed player boots, and an official match ball signed by the coach and team members. These exclusive rewards are aimed at fostering a deep connection with the fans, allowing them to contribute to the team's journey and growth.

A Vision for New Facilities

One of the main motives behind the crowdfunding is the establishment of a dedicated training ground: the Okamura Home JEF United Park Funabashi. This facility is set to host the women's top team, as well as training for both male and female academy players. The training ground will provide a nurturing space for athletes to hone their skills, while also becoming a hub for community engagement.

The goal is to raise a significant total of 5 million yen through the crowdfunding efforts. The funds will be utilized to procure high-quality football training equipment, ensuring that players can train effectively in a conducive environment. Furthermore, this initiative aims to enhance the clubhouse facilities so that players can enjoy their training and socializing in a comfortable and inspiring setting.

In emphasizing the quality of the club’s operations, the project also serves to uplift the players to their utmost potential. This challenge is about crafting the club's future in collaboration with its loyal supporters—an invitation to all JEF fans and admirers to join this exciting venture.

Exciting Reward Items for Supporters

Signed Posters

As a reward, backers can receive a signed poster from the J1 Promotion Playoff semifinals, capturing unforgettable moments of determination and persistence from the match.

Signed Player Gear

Additionally, donors will have the chance to own autographed boots worn by players during their practice and match sessions—unique memorabilia directly from the field! This includes contribution from players with a history in the J1 league, offering fans a rare opportunity to own pieces from their sporting journey.

Special Signed Match Ball

To commemorate the J1 promotion, supporters can also receive a match ball used during the finals, complete with autographs from the manager and the bench players. It’s a piece of history that captures the essence of achievement marked on December 13, 2025.

SNS Timeline Takeover Initiative

As part of the launch, a social media timeline takeover—“SNS Timeline Jack”—will take place. From December 19, 19:00 to 23:59, the official JEF United accounts and its fans will post coordinated messages to spread awareness about the crowdfunding campaign.

This initiative aims to create a buzz around the project's goals, sharing its essence and urgency in real-time across platforms. Users are encouraged to share original posts, retweet from official accounts, and use any format that fits their style, contributing to the collective visibility of JEF United's mission.
