ZAMST Partners with Rising Star Soccer Player Sota Nakamura

Japan's leading sports care and support brand, ZAMST, recently announced a partnership with Sota Nakamura, a promising professional soccer player who currently plays for Sanfrecce Hiroshima in the J.League. The deal signifies a blend of ZAMST’s innovative sports support products and Nakamura's incredible talent and potential in soccer.

The Rise of Sota Nakamura

Sota Nakamura has made headlines for his remarkable performances in the Kanto University League, where he achieved the remarkable feat of being the top scorer and playmaker for two consecutive years in 2023 and 2024. This achievement caught the attention of many, leading to his transition to professional soccer with Sanfrecce Hiroshima, where he has already scored three goals and provided six assists in his debut season, solidifying his presence and showcasing his skills on the field.

Moreover, Nakamura became the only university graduate selected for Japan’s national team at the E-1 Championship, where he played in two matches and contributed to the team’s victory by scoring in his debut. With such a promising start, all eyes are on Nakamura as he continues to rise in the world of soccer.

The Partnership with ZAMST

ZAMST aims to support Nakamura's journey through a range of performance-enhancing and injury-prevention products, including custom insoles designed to improve overall athletic performance. The collaboration is based on a mutual desire to help athletes reach their peak performance while minimizing the risk of injuries—a principle that is at the heart of ZAMST's philosophy.

Nakamura has been a long-time user of ZAMST products, starting from his university years. He has been utilizing the Footcraft FOOTBALL STYLE insoles since his second year in college. Initially, he adopted these insoles to prevent injuries but soon found that they enhanced his performance, enabling smoother transitions and providing that much-needed burst of power in critical moments of a game. Recently, Nakamura has also begun using the Footcraft CUSTOM CONTROL insoles, a tailor-made option that further elevates his game.

In a statement, Nakamura expressed his gratitude, stating, “I am thrilled to partner with ZAMST. Their products have become indispensable to my performance on the field. I look forward to growing as an athlete with their support.”
