Thanks to the mobilization of Daihatsu staff to support us, we could move forward with our management of the tournament with a good atmosphere.
I hope the players will train so that they can do the things that they couldn’t do in this tournament, so that they can try again next time. Regular training is the most important foundation, so I would like them to approach this training by imagining their actual matches.
In order to develop national level players, we will set up chances for interleague matches with players from outside the prefecture.

It was really impressive to see all the players desperately chasing the shuttle.
Although it was just a small contribution, we were very pleased to be able to help enliven the tournament by distributing drinks and souvenirs. It was also great that many people used our cheering goods.
We will continue our support for badminton. Good luck to all the players!
