Kick-Starting Sustainability: Omiya Ardija Unveils the Groundbreaking ‘Sustainer Cup’ in TH!NK THE BALL PROJECT
Join the Sustaina Cup and Protect Football
The TH!NK THE BALL PROJECT, in collaboration with Omiya Ardija, the J.League, and NTT Group, presents the Sustaina Cup. This exciting initiative aims to make climate action a habit while having fun.
What is Sustainer Cup?
The Sustaina Cup uses a familiar cup format to engage fans and supporters in climate action. Through the smartphone app “fowald,” participants can earn points (act) by completing “target quests” such as answering climate-related quizzes and posting photos of eco bags/eco bottles. These points are added to the J clubs they support.
The top three clubs will receive activity support funds, with the overall goal of reaching 10,000 participants in climate action. When this goal is achieved, the J.League and NTT Group will plant trees.
Our Mission
By participating in the Sustaina Cup and taking climate action, we can help solve climate change issues and revitalize the region. At Omiya Ardija, we are committed to addressing environmental issues and working towards a carbon-neutral society.

What is TH!NK THE BALL PROJECT?
Our goal is for J.League fans and supporters to “know what to do,” “enjoy what they do,” and “want to invite people around them” to support their favorite club through daily climate action. We aim to develop a system and provide it through smartphone apps, etc.
