The Ryukyu Golden Kings will begin hosting home games on the newly introduced LED-integrated floor 'VISION FLOOR (VISION FLOOR)' at their home arena, Okinawa Suntory Arena, starting in the 2026-27 season.

This marks the first instance in Asia of a professional sports team using an LED-integrated floor throughout an entire season for home games.

The VISION FLOOR features the 'ASB GlassFloor (ASB LumiFlex)', developed by ASB Systembau Horst Babinsky GmbH based in Germany and certified by FIBA. This next-generation sports floor combines safety and functionality required for competitive play with synchronized multimedia effects, integrating video, lighting, and sound. It enables dynamic, full-court visual presentations during player introductions, halftime shows, and timeout sequences. When linked with Okinawa Suntory Arena’s mega-vision and ribbon displays, it enhances the immersive atmosphere across the entire venue.

Through the use of the VISION FLOOR, the Golden Kings aim to deliver unprecedented realism and immersion, offering fans an entirely new game-day experience.

Starting in September 2026, B.LEAGUE’s new top-tier division, B.PREMIER, will launch under the vision of becoming the 'world's most unconventional live sports entertainment'.

On this new stage, the Golden Kings will continue their legacy of bold challenges, creating exciting new experiences that thrill everyone in the arena.

The true value of sports lies in bringing people together in the same space, sharing moments of excitement and emotion within a limited time. That is why we are committed to making every visit a uniquely valuable experience that exceeds expectations.

To express this vision, the team has released a message titled 'OUR VISION'.

The VISION FLOOR is more than just a facility upgrade. It is a new stage that captures the cheers, dreams, and potential born through sports. Positioned as a symbol of Okinawa’s future, it represents a bold challenge to generate new excitement and value from the island, shaped by the collective future of everyone who walks alongside the Golden Kings.

This is where we will paint our future.

Moving forward, the Ryukyu Golden Kings will continue to push boundaries alongside Okinawa Suntory Arena and Okinawa Arena Corporation, expanding the possibilities of sports and entertainment to create an arena where 'everyone' can have more fun.
