Cygames, Inc., a company engaged in the planning, development and operation of games, announced that it had entered into a sponsorship agreement with France Galop on the 9th and become a premium partner of the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, to be held in Paris, France, on 4 October. It is the first such development involving a Japanese company.
The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is a Group 1 turf race established in 1920. It is held over 2,400 meters at Longchamp Racecourse, with total prize money said to be €5 million (approximately ¥900 million), among the highest levels in Europe. Cygames' appointment represents a new sponsorship relationship for this prestigious race.
Life-size figures of Orfevre, Gold Ship and others are scheduled to be exhibited at the venue, and the company's brand exposure is expected to be strengthened through event visibility. Cygames, known for titles including Uma Musume, is reportedly expected to expand its cooperation framework going forward.
