V-Varen Nagasaki Showcases Youth Success And Community Engagement

The soccer club celebrates U-12 achievements and launches various initiatives for fans and youth participation.

V-Varen Nagasaki’s U-12 team recently marked their prowess by securing the runner-up title at the KYFA2025 Fujipan Cup, showcasing the club’s commitment to nurturing young talent. The team kicked off their campaign with promising results, defeating Minerva Beppu 2-0 on March 8, with goals from Sometada and Harada. Later the same day, they drew with Avispa Fukuoka, advancing through penalties with a final score of 5-4. The following day, their stellar performance continued as they triumphed over Taiyo Kanoya 2-1, thanks to the efforts of Masu and Yuemura. Regrettably, their tournament run ended with a narrow 0-1 defeat to Sagan Tosu, but their accomplishment speaks volumes about the club's dedication to youth development.

Meanwhile, Net Protections is making waves with its recent campaign on X (formerly Twitter), offering fans the chance to win tickets to see V-Varen Nagasaki face Blaublitz Akita on March 23, 2025. The deadline for this exciting opportunity is March 21, giving fans just enough time to enter. The campaign specifies winners will receive pair tickets for the match, emphasizing community participation and fan engagement through social media. Fans are invited to follow the Net Protections account and re-post the designated campaign post to be eligible.

For those eager for more live soccer experiences, Ehime FC is organizing an AWAY bus tour for the May 3, 2025 match against V-Varen Nagasaki. This initiative aims to gather supporters for what promises to be an electrifying match, encouraging fans to paint the away stands orange. Applications for this bus tour must be submitted by April 7 due to ferry arrangements during the Golden Week period, highlighting the planning involved for such fan experiences.

On another front, V-Varen Nagasaki has entered the prestigious 2025 J-League Sharelen! Awards, showcasing their peace advocacy initiatives. Their entry highlights the 'peace learning' activity conducted on July 22, 2024, aimed at disseminated messages of peace locally and globally. This initiative, stemming from the club's identity as a professional sports entity based in an atomic bomb-affected area, resonates deeply with community values. V-Varen Nagasaki aims to not only excel on the field but also serve as ambassadors for peace, demonstrating the impact sports can have on societal issues.

Supporters of V-Varen Nagasaki have the opportunity to participate by voting for their favorite projects from March 6 to March 20, 2025, making this not just about accolades but community involvement and support for initiatives they believe other clubs should adopt.

On the youth development front, V-Varen Nagasaki’s soccer school has announced its spring enrollment campaign, enticing new members with attractive offers. The campaign includes half-price membership fees, bringing the annual cost down from 12,000 yen to 6,000 yen. Participants who refer friends can receive free tickets to school events, as well as one-hour free trial tickets to VS STADIUM NAGASAKI for experiences scheduled during March, April, or May 2025. This opportunity not only promotes soccer among the youth but also encourages community engagement and participation during peak seasons.

V-Varen Nagasaki's efforts across various fronts reveal the club's broader vision to integrate sporting success with impactful community outreach. The combination of winning records, community campaigns, and advocacy for peace demonstrates the club's dedication to enriching its local environment.

With the impending deadlines for ticket applications, bus tours, awards voting, and spring enrollments, fans and community members are urged not to miss out on these experiences. V-Varen Nagasaki continues to serve as more than just a soccer club—they are committed to being a catalyst for positive change both on and off the field.
