The Joy of Victory Delivered to Their Hometown

NTV Tokyo Verdy Beleza won the 2024-25 SOMPO WE League, claiming a hard-fought championship.
The WE League is Japan's first women's professional soccer league, which launched in 2021, and Beleza has been one of its founding clubs.
This season, they overcame fierce competition with INAC Kobe and others, clinching the title on the final matchday in dramatic fashion.

Following the victory, the team visited the mayors of their hometown municipalities: Tama City, Hino City, Inagi City, and Higashiyamato City.
Players and staff visited city hall offices to personally express their gratitude for the support received throughout the season and to report on their league championship.
The visits were shared on the official X account and received many likes from fans and locals alike.

Deep Ties with the Four Cities of the Tama Area

For Beleza, the Tama area is an essential hometown that includes their training base.
Centered around their training facility in Yanoguichi, Inagi City, they have built long-lasting partnerships with Tama City and Hino City over the years.
Higashiyamato City also joined this round of courtesy visits, broadening the team's connections across the entire Tama area.

"Having more opportunities to train in Tama City, our hometown, also contributed to our championship" — such remarks are said to have come from club staff.
The result of local facilities and a local team supporting each other has led to this season's victory.
It is a story unique to the Tama area, where years of effort have finally borne fruit.

Hometown Day Makes It Easy to Watch Matches

Beleza's connection to their hometown goes beyond courtesy visits.
They hold a "Hometown Day" for home matches.
Residents, workers, and students from Tama City, Hino City, Inagi City, and Higashiyamato City can watch matches at special discounted prices.

It's an opportunity for local residents to enjoy professional women's soccer casually, and it has been well received every season.
