Introducing the club concept, overview, and history of Kashiwa Reysol
Club Concept
Kashiwa Reysol was born in Kashiwa and has been nurtured by all the people living in its hometown. It has been supported by warm affection, as if it were a member of the family.
We reaffirm our commitment to the word "family." We firmly believe that the path our Reysol should pursue is embodied by families who walk together, sharing the joys and sorrows of daily life while pouring love into one another. To be a member of that family, what is essential is the spirit of 'consideration' and "gratitude."
We, Kashiwa Reysol, will always cherish "consideration" and 'gratitude' as we strive to build a "strong, beloved club."
"A Strong, Beloved Club"
Kashiwa Reysol must be strong. Our mission is to always give our best and win for our families. We will continue our relentless efforts to become a world-class club representing our hometown, representing Japan, and representing Asia.
Kashiwa Reysol must be cherished. It is a club supported by familial love. We must share dreams, hopes, and inspiration together, and its existence must be supported by the entire family. To this end, we will always uphold justice and fulfill our social responsibilities.
Activity Policy: To become a "Strong and Beloved Club"
As a professional sports club, we recognize our social responsibility and, mindful of our public nature and public interest, respect diverse opinions and requests. We strive to be a highly transparent organization by ensuring timely and appropriate information disclosure.
As a symbol of our hometown and a source of energy, we will always perform at our utmost with pride and ambition, striving to become a club that soars onto the world stage.
We will maintain dignity and integrity, and through rich communication via soccer, contribute to health promotion, the sound development of youth, international exchange, and the revitalization of our hometown.
