The J.League is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Gold Partner Agreement with Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance Company (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Director, President and Group CEO: Hideki Nagashima) for the 2023/24 J.LEAGUE ASIA CHALLENGE in THAILAND.
Meiji Yasuda and the J.League have a proud and storied history together, having entered into a J3 League title partner agreement in 2014 before a three-term J.League title partner agreement starting in 2015.
With 2024 marking both the 10th anniversary of this enduring partnership beginning with the J.League, and the 20th anniversary of Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance Company’s merger, we will now see yet another partnership crossing overseas at the 2023/24 J.LEAGUE ASIA CHALLENGE in THAILAND.
This partnership will also include Thai Life Insurance Public Co. Ltd., which Meiji Yasuda has invested in, and which will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year. Thai Life Insurance will also be providing support and cooperation on-site in Thailand.
