Vegalta Sendai Launches Crowdfunding Initiative for Future Growth

Vegalta Sendai, a professional soccer club based in Sendai, Miyagi, has announced the launch of its crowdfunding initiative titled "EVER GOLD SPIRIT FUTURES." The project will commence on September 19, 2025, at 18:00 and aims to raise funds to secure transportation for its academy teams.

The funds raised through the crowdfunding campaign will be allocated towards purchasing transportation vehicles and designing wraps for them to boost team morale and foster a sense of club loyalty. As such, the club balances its commitments to both sporting excellence and strong community involvement.

“Our goal is to create a strong and competitive Vegalta by investing in our youth academy," said Hideki Itabashi, the club president. "We believe in the importance of nurturing the next generation of talent.
