The press conference has been held in June, and the highlights are,

Name of the team

  • Set the city name, "Osaka", in the team name, as the identity of the team

  • "Bluteon" means "Blu to Eon" (forever blue), to show the commitment to become the No1 team in the world


Concept of the team

  • "Osaka Bluteon" aims for the No1 team in the world (as mentioned). They are no longer a "Japanese" team, but trying to be "International" team.

  • So their mission is "Always to the top, All ways together". They target to be the best team in the world, together with the fans.


Values of the team

  • Brave - Bravely challenge to everything with creativity and innovativeness

  • Leading - Lead the world's volleyball, based on the respect to the people related to the team

  • United - Be friendly and connected with the fans and the people of the home town

  • Energetic - Deliver the positive energy to the supporters


The Opening game of 2024-25 season

The 2024-25 season is expected to be during October to March/2025.

As of Jul/3rd, the opening game is announced, and that is going to be a big match!


Oct/11th (Fri), 19:05, Osaka Bluteon vs Suntory Sunbirds Osaka, at Tokyo metropolitan gymnasium


These 2 teams are the 1st place and the 2nd place team of 2023-24 season and both teams have many national team players, so the significance of this game will be quite large.


People's attention to this game must be very high so securing the tickets for the game will be very difficult. The ticket sales will start from the top of September, so if you're interested, please feel free to send the request to us from "Search request" form.

*As of Sep/1, we've already received so many requests that we don't think we can arrange any more... If you're really keen and open to local resale tickets, please let us know.
