Izawa Towel's home base is Hirakata City, Neyagawa City, and Katano City, Osaka Prefecture.
We are an official partner of the JFL soccer team "FC Tiamo Hirakata".
A lecture was held on June 13, 2022, inviting director Kasumi Ogawa.
Coach Ogawa, who has been active as a J Leaguer for many years, will share his secrets to success as a player.
He talked about how he struggles as a coach to keep the players together.
The question corner after the lecture was so successful that Izawa Towel employees couldn't stop asking questions.
It was a valuable time to strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two parties.
Izawa Towel will continue to support FC Tiamo Hirakata with all its might!
