I am Yasuji Miyoshi and I am a member of VfL Bochum in Germany. I will participate in the activities of the 1% FOOTBALL CLUB.
I mostly live in Europe, and as I talk to athletes from different countries, I see how each athlete supports their own country and its children. I myself started playing soccer from a young age due to the influence of my older brother, and with the support of my parents, I was able to continue playing soccer without any problems, but if I can’t continue playing soccer for some reason. , I think my life has changed a lot.
However, when I heard that there are children in the world who cannot achieve that goal, I want as many children as possible to enjoy and grow through soccer, because I am a person whose life has been improved through soccer. some help in creating that environment.
Let’s unite all our friends who love soccer and inspire Japan through soccer!
