Zamst Tournament Support Program Surpasses 1,200 Supported Amateur Sports Competitions

Nippon Sigmax Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Yosuke Suzuki), which develops the ZAMST brand of sports support and care products, has renewed the website for its 'Zamst Tournament Support Program' and enhanced support for the junior category.

### About the Zamst Tournament Support Program
Zamst aims to widely support regional and category-specific tournaments that play an important role in providing children with the joy of sports and a place to test the results of their daily practice. With this vision, the 'Zamst Tournament Support Project' was launched in 2020, targeting amateur tournaments held nationwide for the purpose of exchange and improvement of competitive skills. Over the past five years, more than 1,200 tournaments have been supported through this program.

Based on the high demand from the junior generation observed through supporting numerous events, we have decided to further strengthen our support for the junior category. We will continue this program to support the activities of even more tournament organisers, participating teams, and participants.

### Voices from Supported Tournaments and Participants
- 'With participants coming from afar, the scale and level of the tournament improved. We used the sponsorship money to purchase official soccer balls for the winners.'
- 'The sponsorship added excitement to the tournament and created special memories for the children. We also identified operational challenges for next year.'
