In an exciting bid to enhance community engagement and sports entertainment, SEKISUI Challengers, a prominent American football team based in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture, is slated to initiate a crowdfunding campaign titled "Want to See Real Football? Come Together, Amagasaki Lovers!" on May 7, 2025. The project, hosted on the crowdfunding platform Spportunity, aims to gather financial support for the 10th Amagasaki Bowl, which will be celebrated on June 15, 2025, at the Baycom Athletics Stadium.
