What is the Aichi Sports Commission?

Aichi Prefecture is setting forth in an effort to promote, foster and bid for national and international sporting tournaments to be hosted in the prefecture. Such an approach requires that officials of the region cooperate together as an organization. For that purpose, “Aichi Sports Commission” has established on April 1, 2015.

The ‘sports commission’ by building awareness, driving initiatives and bidding for sporting competitions and training camps will, for example increase the number of non-local sporting exchanges promoting and leading to regional revitalization. The commission will act in cooperation with local governments, sports-related organizations, economic and tourism organizations, the mass media, participating companies, NPOs and so on.
