Legacy Soccer Media 'Ultra-WORLD Soccer!' Undergoes Full Renewal

Imio Co., Ltd. has fully renewed the soccer media outlet 'Ultra-WORLD Soccer!' and launched the new site on April 1, 2026. The site structure and content design have been rebuilt from the ground up, evolving into a media platform that delivers soccer information from both domestic and international top-tier categories to youth-age groups from a multi-faceted perspective. We are also widely recruiting partner companies and individuals to help drive the media's operations forward.

'Ultra-WORLD Soccer!' is a pioneer in Japanese soccer web media, having started in 2000. It has long served as a bridge between information and readers, dating back to a time when it was rare for Japanese players to be active on the world stage. Since Imio Co., Ltd. took over operations in July 2025, we have been reviewing the platform under the policy of 'moving to the next phase while leveraging our history and accumulated assets.'

This renewal was achieved through the cooperation of our content partner, Universale Co., Ltd., and our system partner, TIAM Co., Ltd., rebuilding the site structure, design, and content from scratch. In addition to traditional news delivery, the configuration has been updated to allow users to engage with soccer information from more diverse angles.

[Key Renewal Highlights]
- Streamlined navigation under the concept 'Connect with the World': The site structure has been refreshed to allow smooth access to necessary information, from top-tier categories to youth and junior categories, while traversing domestic and international information.
- Enhanced primary information: We are prioritizing the delivery of primary information based on on-site reporting more than ever, aiming to improve our reliability and expertise as a media outlet.
- Coverage of a wide range of categories and enrichment of junior content: In addition to expanding match reports and original projects, we now cover a wider range of categories, including youth ages. We have particularly enriched content for parents and players in the junior age group.

Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen our functions as a platform that conveys the charm of soccer from multiple angles while advancing content development that combines articles, videos, and data.

[Regarding Partner Recruitment]
'Ultra-WORLD Soccer!' is widely recruiting partner companies and individuals who can help grow the media together. If you are considering an approach to the soccer and sports industry, or if you want to reach parents and players in the youth age group, please contact us.

[Types of Partners We Are Seeking]
- Advertising/Tie-ups: Banner ads, PR articles, and tie-up articles. We have strengths in reaching parents and players in the junior age group.
- Club/School Listings: Introduction articles and special features for junior teams and soccer schools, including listings in the 'Ultra Junior Soccer Guide'.
- Event Co-hosting/Title Sponsorship: Organizing or co-hosting tournaments, schools, and talk events. We are also planning events linked to the July 2026 World Cup.
- Content Partnerships: Mutual posting and collaboration projects with other media, YouTube channels, and SNS accounts.
- Editing/Production Partners: Partnerships in production, such as article writers, photographers, and video creators.

[Comment from Representative Director Keishiro Kurabayashi]
This renewal was not just a design change, but an effort to rethink what we are as a media outlet. While leveraging the value of 'Ultra-WORLD Soccer!', which has continued for many years, we have rebuilt it into a form required by the current era. I hope it will become a place where users can easily find reliable information. Also, we want to grow this media together with companies and individuals who resonate with us, rather than just making it ourselves. We would be happy to have you as a partner.
