At a press conference, Osaka Evessa explained the circumstances behind the failure to receive certification for continuing B.PREMIER eligibility for the 2028-29 season and its future policy for applying to enter B.ONE. The club aims to align its renovation plans with the contract terms so that it can once again meet the arena standards.
On 29 October, the representative of Human Planning, which operates Osaka Evessa, and the representative of its parent company held a press conference to explain the circumstances behind the failure to receive certification for continuing B.PREMIER license eligibility for the 2028-29 season, as determined in B.LEAGUE's announcement the previous day, and their future policy. The reasons cited for the failure included a review of the contract with the construction company for the renovation plan at the home arena, Ookini Arena Maishima, which resulted in no contract being concluded, leaving the club unable to submit documents meeting the standards by the deadline.
Osaka Evessa said it plans to apply to enter B.ONE from the 2028-29 season and, if approved, intends to relaunch the club while continuing to use its current home arena. It also stated that it would make every effort to secure a facility meeting B.PREMIER's arena standards and would again aim to enter the top category once it had a clear prospect of securing one. The club also referred to the planned opening of the Osaka Yumeshima IR in 2030 and said it wanted to contribute to regional revitalization and promote B.LEAGUE globally.
