Event summary

Leifras awarded contract by Nagoya City to launch Co-Sports Club for junior high school students with disabilities.

The initiative positions Leifras as a key player in developing inclusive sports infrastructure, leveraging its industry-leading contract track record and extensive government networks. This move aligns with broader trends in social business and policy-driven demand for accessible education and sports facilities.
