In addition to operating professional sports teams such as CHIBAJETS FUNABASHI and FC TOKYO, MIXI Group strives to provide services that allow friends and fans to easily connect and enjoy watching games together.
As a tech company, we naturally put a lot of thought into the online spaces that our services provide, but we also understand the importance of offline spaces and face-to-face communication. By leveraging our technological prowess, we will create more opportunities for quality communication at sporting events.
Fansta—an online service for finding places to watch sports with friends
Fansta, in cooperation with sports streaming and on-demand service DAZN, is a service that helps users find places where they can watch sports together. Users can search not only by area, but also by broadcast schedule. Under the motto of “on game day, the bar is our stadium”, fans who can’t make it to the stadium can still support their team in the company of friends and fellow fans.
Business alliance with HUB provides opportunities for communication in offline spaces
In March 2021, we signed a business alliance agreement with HUB CO., LTD., which operates more than 100 locations nationwide. Sports fans can gather with their friends at nearby HUB locations listed on Fansta and enjoy the excitement of sports together, even if they can’t make it to the stadium.
Initiatives at FC TOKYO
FC TOKYO, operated by MIXI Group’s Tokyo Football Club Co., Ltd., works to make sure fans who can’t get tickets still feel connected through offline events they can enjoy with friends and family. We also release video content that can also be enjoyed by people without in-depth soccer knowledge.
Ao-Aka Park
Ao-Aka Park offers a variety of delicious food, drinks, and free soccer events that anyone can enjoy without purchasing tickets. Events are held at Ajipen Plaza and Ajipanda Plaza at Ajinomoto Stadium, with various soccer-related attractions for both children and adults. Also, stage events are held for some matches, and there are a variety of other ways for visitors to enjoy themselves.
Video content
We collaborate with FC TOKYO to produce video content for their official social media accounts (X, YouTube, TikTok, etc.). We release a variety of content that both soccer fans and newcomers can enjoy and aim to make people want to come to the stadium with their friends and family.
