Kyocera Mita has also renewed its sponsorship agreement with Borussia Mönchengladbach, the Bundesliga club based in the city of Mönchengladbach in western Germany near Kyocera Mita Deutschland GmbH.

Kyocera is the primar y sponsor of the Kyoto Sanga F.C. of Japan’s J1 League. Kyocera Mita is providing financial support for the football classes, futsal tournaments, and parent-child lessons provided by the team for children who dream of becoming pro football players and their parents. This is one of the ways we are giving back to the community through the team and through rearing of the next generation of football stars. Our dream is to watch participants in these football classes go on to join junior youth or pro football teams, or even become worldwide football stars.
