Announcement of Naming Rights Acquisition for Osaka City Naniwa Sports Center: 'INOVE Daiichi Juken Naniwa Sports Center' to Begin Using New Name on April 1, 2026

The Daiichi Juken Group (Daiichi Juken Holdings Co., Ltd.; Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka; Representative Director: Takeshi Matsuo; https://www.d-group.co.jp/) is pleased to announce that it has applied for and successfully acquired the naming rights for the Osaka City Naniwa Sports Center, as offered by the City of Osaka.

The Daiichi Juken Group, well-known for its INOVE series, is a regional company that has been rooted in Osaka and engaged in the real estate business for over 50 years. Currently, as the corporate sponsor of top men's singles figure skater Kazuki Tomono—an Osaka native who is based in the city—the company has positioned athlete support as a key pillar of its CSR initiatives. As an Osaka-based company, we aim to support local athletes and grow alongside the community. With the goal of contributing to an environment where future Japanese national representatives can be nurtured in various fields at the Naniwa Sports Center, we applied for the naming rights and were selected following a review process.

The facility will be nicknamed the "INOVE Daiichi Juken Naniwa Sports Center." The new name is scheduled to be used starting April 1, 2026, with the contract term running until March 31, 2028.
