"Blue-ing!", a soccer culture creation base, will open on Saturday, December 23rd in Tokyo Dome City, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo.

In addition to an area where you can enjoy next-generation experience content, the latest digital displays, and automatic AI generation, the facility will also feature event space, a cafe and bar, a soccer shop, and more. In addition to supervising the space of the facility, Yoichi Ochiai, director of the Digital Nature Development Research Center at the University of Tsukuba, will be involved in some of the content, making full use of the latest technology such as AI (artificial intelligence) to provide soccer fun beyond imagination. The facility is a facility that can be enjoyed not only by soccer families, but also by people who are not normally involved in soccer. NOMURA was in charge of interiors design and displays design and construction.

The name ``blue-ing!'' uses the ``blue'' symbol of Japanese soccer as a motif, and contains the meaning that ``As soccer culture takes root, it becomes dyed in the color blue.''

Based on the concept of "a place for communication and creativity that connects us to the future," this facility aims to embody the JFA's philosophy, contribute to people's physical and mental health through soccer, and create connections with society. .
We will continue to contribute to the realization of these visions.
