Legacy to Support Employees Watching Japan's Soccer Match on June 26 During Work Hours

Legacy Management Group (Tax Accountants Legacy / Administrative Law Firm Legacy / Legacy Co., Ltd., Representative: Daisuke Amano, Head Office: Yaesu, Chuo-ku, Tokyo) implemented in-office viewing support for the FIFA World Cup 2026 Japan vs. Sweden match held on June 26 (Fri) at 8:00 a.m., enabling employees to cheer for the Japanese national team while maintaining normal business operations.

On the day, employees who came to the office supported the national team by using designated viewing areas within the office and their personal smartphones, following adjustments made by each department to ensure no disruption to regular work or client services.

Ongoing Interest in Soccer and Background of This Initiative

Legacy has previously supported soccer as a corporate supporter of a J.League team. More recently, we hosted a special dialogue between Mr. Yasunari Miyamoto, President of the Japan Football Association (JFA), and our Chairman Takashi Amano.

During the dialogue, they discussed commonalities between "defense" in soccer and "protection" in inheritance and tax matters, as well as the mindset of moving from defense to offense and embracing new challenges. This discussion further strengthened the internal enthusiasm for supporting the Japanese national soccer team.

Details of Viewing Support on Match Day

The Japan national team match on June 26 (Fri) kicked off at 8:00 a.m. on a weekday, falling within regular working hours. To allow employees to balance work and cheering, the company enabled the following measures:

- Watching the match via smartphones or other devices during work hours, provided work responsibilities are properly managed

- Designating specific in-office viewing areas to minimize audio disturbances to others

- Allowing flexible work arrangements such as staggered commuting or taking a half-day paid leave, depending on work conditions

- Requiring prior coordination within each department to ensure no impact on client service or team operations

Creating Shared Experiences Among Employees

On match day, employees across departments and positions were seen supporting the national team together. This shared experience sparked natural conversations among colleagues who don't usually interact, fostering organic communication.

The company views such sports viewing events as opportunities to strengthen team unity and employee engagement.

【Employee Comments】

"It was great to cheer for the same match together at the office from early morning, and it led to conversations across departments."

"Knowing there's a system that allows us to support the team without affecting our work gave a real sense of unity in supporting the national team as a company."

Future Support Measures if Japan Advances

Following Japan's advancement to the knockout stage after the match on June 26 (Fri), if future matches are scheduled late at night, early morning, or during working hours, the company plans to consider additional viewing support measures—including staggered commuting, half-day paid leave, or special leave—based on match schedules, business impact, and client service arrangements.

While no specific policies have been finalized yet, the company will continue to make flexible decisions to create an environment where employees can comfortably support the national team.
