NTT Docomo, Inc. (hereinafter "Docomo") will host the Hanshin Tigers Farm League official game "Support is Power! Tigers Fan Full Support Day" at Nippon Steel Sumitomo Metal SGL Stadium Amagasaki from Friday, June 26, 2026, to Sunday, June 28, 2026. This event utilizes support funds*1 accumulated by Hanshin Tigers fans through their daily shopping and other activities using d-points.
This initiative further evolves the "support advertising" efforts that have previously taken shape in urban areas, providing fans with an opportunity to feel their support more deeply through "real experiences" where they can actually interact with players and games at the stadium. Additionally, this third installment, "Support is Power! Tigers Fan Full Support Day," will feature a campaign offering experiential prizes that reflect fan feedback, such as participation in the first pitch ceremony and interaction with players.
■ Past Initiatives and Future Outlook for Hanshin Tigers Support Funds
Docomo has previously implemented Hanshin Tigers support measures utilizing support funds. In the first phase, in September 2025, a mosaic art advertisement using cheering comments collected from fans was displayed at Hanshin Daimotsu Station, which has ties to the Hanshin Tigers. In the second phase, starting March 2026, one limousine bus of Hanshin Bus, connecting Itami Airport/Kansai International Airport with the Hanshin area, was specially wrapped with popular Hanshin Tigers mascots and fan cheering messages, giving "support" a tangible form in the city.
This third phase utilizes support funds collected from December 2025 to March 2026. Based on fan surveys, the most requested experience was interaction with players, leading to the organization of "Support is Power! Tigers Fan Full Support Day" as a special game offering opportunities for fans to interact with players.
Fan support through this initiative has been growing year by year, with the number and scale of participants in support activities steadily increasing, aiming for further expansion in 2026. Moving forward, Docomo will continue to consider fan-driven, participatory support measures that involve real experiences, based on fan feedback.
