Unipos Inc. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo), which draws out the power of individuals and organizations to solve organizational challenges, has partnered with the adult football club 'Dual Grit FC,' which began activities in the 2026 season, empathizing with its philosophy.
In recent years, the diversification of athlete careers and the importance of dual careers have attracted attention, and there is a demand for establishing a system that allows athletes to balance competition and work at a high level. This initiative is also positioned as a model that supports a new option of 'aiming for the top in competition while working.'
The utilization of Unipos by a sports team is the first in Japan, and together with Re-grit Partners, the operating body that introduced Unipos in 2018, we will further strongly support a culture of appreciation through 'visualization of contributions' in both the office and on the pitch.
Background: Empathy for the philosophy of 'complete balance' between business and sports
'Dual Grit FC,' established by Re-grit Partners Inc., aims to enter the JFL, and in principle, players work as full-time employees of the company in consultant, sales, or marketing roles, advocating a 'hybrid model' that balances business and sports at a high level.
The club's stance of designing a system for 'advanced balancing of work and competition,' where athletes continue to challenge themselves while also excelling as business professionals, aligns with Unipos's vision of 'making everyone who works happy.'
Unipos has previously supported the 'visualization of contributions' within companies. This initiative is a new challenge to extend that mechanism to the sports domain, drawing out the power of individuals and organizations even in different environments.
As a partner who has supported Re-grit Partners' organizational development since 2018, we have decided to sponsor 'Dual Grit FC' to back their challenge.
First in Japan: Unipos utilization by a sports team. 'Gratitude and appreciation' born across domains
'Dual Grit FC' is the first case in Japan to utilize Unipos as a sports team.
Members express gratitude and appreciation in real-time not only for mutual assistance in various tasks but also for dedicated play on the pitch. This mechanism for visualizing each other's 'contributions' and 'efforts,' even in different environments of business and sports, leads to improved team cohesion and promotion of proactive behavior.
