Osaka Evessa was not granted eligibility to retain its B.PREMIER license for the 2028-29 season. The reason was that the contract documents required to meet the home arena standards could not be submitted in time because the parties could not agree on revisions to the contract with the construction company under the home arena renovation plan, resulting in the contract not being concluded.
At a press conference, Isomura Hidetaka (磯村英孝), Representative Director of Osaka Evessa Human Planning Co., Ltd., deeply apologized for causing inconvenience and concern to those involved and indicated his intention to work steadily toward restoring trust.
Sato Tomoya (佐藤朋也), President and Representative Director of Human Holdings Co.,Ltd., said that the company would consider applying to enter B.ONE as its future policy. He also indicated that, even after entry accreditation, the club intended to continue using its current home arena and would make every effort to secure an arena meeting the B.PREMIER standards.
Osaka Evessa has stated that it aims to revitalize the region and communicate with the world, with the opening of an IR facility in 2030 in view. The club will proceed with its rebuilding and efforts to restore the trust of fans and partners.
