Blue United Coordinates J.League’s “MLS Stadium & Training Facility Study Tour”

Blue United Corporation coordinated the “2024 MLS Stadium & Training Facility Study Tour in North America,” organized by the Japan Professional Football League (J.League), and accompanied the tour on-site.

This was a high-profile tour, featuring 44 participants, including executives from the J.League, various J.League clubs (such as Kashima Antlers, Yokohama F Marinos, Júbilo Iwata, Gamba Osaka, Cerezo Osaka, Blaublitz Akita, Shimizu S-Pulse, and Ehime FC), and some of Japan’s leading architectural and design firms (such as Azusa Sekkei, Taisei Corporation, Takenaka Corporation, and Obayashi Corporation).

This project was realized after approximately six months of preparation, during which our company, in close consultation with the J.League, studied and selected the facilities for the tour and worked closely with the representatives of each home club.

We negotiated the availability of the tours, arranged the reception systems at each facility, and coordinated the content of the tours. Additionally, we conducted preliminary research on the facilities and confirmed the questions from the J.League delegation in advance, holding detailed meetings with the J.League throughout the process.

Leveraging our expertise in the sports business, we also provided simultaneous interpretation services during the explanations and Q&A sessions at each facility, ensuring smooth communication for the delegation.

On October 2nd (Wednesday), we joined the delegation at Columbus Airport, officially starting the on-site coordination work. Over the six days from October 3rd (Thursday) to October 8th (Tuesday), the delegation visited “Lower.com Field & OhioHealth Performance Center,” “TQL Stadium,” “The Battery Atlanta & Truist Park,” “Mercedes Benz Stadium,” “GEODIS Park,” “CITYPARK,” and “Allianz Field.”

At each location, the delegation was warmly welcomed. They received thorough tours of the facilities and engaged in detailed Q&A sessions with the senior management of each home club. We would like to sincerely thank all the clubs and stadiums for their warm hospitality and for accommodating our delegation. We are confident that the participants in the delegation were satisfied with the tour.

With our extensive international experience, Blue United Corporation regularly engages in coordination tasks like this, bridging Japan and the global sports industry. We are equipped to support not only soccer but a wide range of fields, so please feel free to contact us should any opportunities arise.
