Rakuten SUPER MATCH 2025

From Small Steps to a Shared Future: Rakuten SUPER MATCH

On April 6, 2025, the Vissel Kobe home match "Rakuten SUPER MATCH," held at the Japan National Stadium, became a special day sponsored by Rakuten Group, dedicated to conveying "Powered by Sports. Playing for All. A BETTER FUTURE TOGETHER."

At the venue, Rakuten Group set up the "WISHING STAR" booth, utilizing digital technology. Visitors could input their dreams via smartphone, which would then appear as shooting stars on a monitor, offering a unique experience. Many dreams were gathered, including wishes for Vissel Kobe's victory and personal goals, creating a space that looked towards "A BETTER FUTURE TOGETHER."

As part of sustainable action, Rakuten Group introduced eco-friendly cutlery at food and beverage stalls within the stadium, promoting resource circulation. A "Plastic Bag Collection Spot" was set up at the exit of the merchandise shop, where collected plastic bags were recycled into "Vissel Kobe Original Shoppers," creating a circulation of resources fans can partake in.

Additionally, Rakuten Group conducted "Escort Kids" for children with illnesses, disabilities, or medical needs. Eleven lucky children walked hand-in-hand with the players onto the field of the Japan National Stadium, sharing the excitement and joy of sports. After the match, volunteer employees from Rakuten Group conducted a "clean up" in the stands, contributing to the stadium's cleanliness.

Rakuten SUPER MATCH is more than just a soccer match; it is a Rakuten Group event that aims to enhance the value of sports and hopes that a single small action can contribute to "A BETTER FUTURE TOGETHER."
