■ FC BASARA HYOGO
A soccer club operated by the general incorporated association Meister, based in Nishi-ku, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture.
It has teams in all categories from elementary school students to working adults, with the adult team belonging to Division 1 of the Kansai Soccer League.
From the 2024 season, former Japan national soccer team player Shinji Okazaki, who serves as a director of the company, took over as manager. Publicly aiming to 'enter the J-League within 5 years' from fiscal 2025, the club is also focusing on reinforcements, such as acquiring J1 players like Keisuke Shimizu from Cerezo Osaka.
In addition, they own a club called FC Basara Mainz in the German 6th division. They focus on creating an environment where Japanese players can challenge themselves overseas, and one of their appeals is the development of human resources capable of competing globally, allowing BASARA players and coaches to transfer between Japan and Germany. They are currently active as a club representing Hyogo Prefecture in both name and reality.
