Flame Asia Continues Its Gold Sponsorship for Asia Koshien 2025

The general incorporated association NB.ACADEMY, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, is proud to announce that Flame Asia Resource PTE. LTD., an energy commodity trading company based in Singapore, has renewed its gold sponsorship for the upcoming Asia Koshien Tournament, set to take place in December 2025 in Jakarta, Indonesia. This renewal follows Flame Asia's successful sponsorship in the inaugural tournament held in December 2024, underscoring their commitment to promoting Japanese baseball culture throughout Asia.

The Asia Koshien aims to foster sportsmanship and teamwork among youth across the region. The first tournament received significant attention from participants and audiences alike, leading to a promising foundation for the second tournament. With plans to expand participation and encourage cultural exchange among diverse Asian countries, the upcoming tournament seeks to deepen friendships and connections within the region.

As part of the Flame SA group, which is headquartered in Switzerland, Flame Asia has consistently provided stable energy supplies across Asian nations, effectively supporting the socio-economic foundations of local communities. Their mission aligns closely with that of Asia Koshien, which is dedicated to nurturing the next generation. We are delighted to have them on board, as they strive to enhance opportunities for youth growth through baseball.

The Asia Koshien is more than just a sports event; it represents a platform for cultural exchange and mutual understanding. Through this partnership, NB.ACADEMY aims to generate more excitement and value while continuing to contribute to the development of the next generation across Asia and fostering community growth.
