UNIQLO, Japan Tennis Association extend sponsorship agreement

The clothing retailer will supply match apparel and training wear in 2022.

UNIQLO has extended its sponsorship agreement with the Japan Tennis Association to supply match apparel and training wear in 2022.

The sponsorship covers Japanese players at premier men’s women’s international team events, starting with the Davis Cup first round qualifiers for the men’s team in Sweden on 4 and 5 March. The women’s team will follow in 11 April at the Billie Jaen King Cup.

“It was with great pride that Japanese players represented their nation in UNIQLO apparel in 2021. We look to keep drawing on UNIQLO's support in 2022 in making our teams even stronger,” Kenichiro Yamanishi, President of the Japan Tennis Association, said.

“We hope that our collaboration with UNIQLO in clothing development can contribute to healthier and happier lives for people everywhere.”

In December last year, UNIQLO also hosted LifeWear Day 2021 with UNIQLO global brand ambassador and Japanese tennise ace Kei Nishikori.

UNIQLO partners with world-leading athletes as global brand ambassadors to promote the UNIQLO brand and LifeWear concept.
