Nippon Oil: ENEOS Helps Kids See J.League’s Brightest Stars  
Kirin: Researching Everybody’s Favorite Subject, Food





Nippon Oil has been a lead sponsor of the J.League soccer club, FC Tokyo. As a part of its social contribution, the company has begun reserving a section of seats at all home games named “ENEOS Friend-Crew Seat.” The special section is for the attendance at each match of 100 children across the country who are disadvantaged, in foster care or from single-parent homes.

Thank-you letters from the invited children.

  The “ENEOS Friend-Crew Seat” program sets a powerful example and sends a clear message regarding the company’s commitment to social action.
  FC Tokyo believes the opportunity to come to the stadium and experience a match live will leave a lasting impression on kids who are playing soccer now and those who are thinking about taking up soccer. Nippon Oil looks forward to the chance to show the children the playing skills of Japan’s highest level of soccer.
