RCD Mallorca extend alliance with Taica Corporation for two seasons

The LaLiga club, RCD Mallorca have inked a two-season sponsorship extension with a R&D-oriented company, Taica Corporation.
Following the signing of a new deal, the brand will continue to act as the main jersey sponsor of RCD Mallorca.
The Japanese multinational, which has already supported the team for two years, will also get to promote its products prominently throughout all facilities. For the second summer in a row, a club delegation visited Tokyo to negotiate an extension of the contract with Taica Corporation through the year 2025.
While advancing current technologies, Taica Corporation is always looking for the next great product. The brand’s goal is to enable individuals to lead richer, more fulfilling lives. As part of this objective, the company has worked to create unique solutions that meet client needs in novel, inventive ways—things that enable the impossibility of the impossible.
Andy Kohlberg, the majority shareholder and club president, connected with Taito Suzuki, the president of Taica Corporation, in the city’s centre along with Alfonso Diaz, the CEO of Business.
Andy Kohlberg, Club President and Majority Shareholder, said, “This agreement means a lot to RCD Mallorca. For starters, it means doubling the two-year relationship we have already had together and that is the best news across any business relationship. Taica Corporation is happy with RCD Mallorca and vice versa; that well-being is based on the trust we both share for each other and the excitement we have for everything that lies ahead as we continue working together.
“We have challenges we will face together and a great desire to continue growing beside one another and that is the basis of everything: a shared effort to be better and to give even more value to the business relationship we maintain.”
Alfonso Díaz, CEO of Business, said, “The agreement with Taica Corporation is much more than a commercial agreement. It is our gateway to Japan and wider Asia. In these two years, our initial contact has developed into a close relationship of mutual trust and that is the best thing of all. On this basis, RCD Mallorca and Taica Corporation will work together for two more seasons, a period of time in which we want to take a step forward in our relationship and give shape to the many joint projects we have both in sports and commercial matters.”
Taito Suzuki, President, Taica Corporation, “I am delighted with the renewal of our main sponsorship agreement with RCD Mallorca. We have been supporting football for years with agreements with Shimizu S-Pulse, Chuo University Soccer Club and various amateur clubs. Together with us, RCD Mallorca has improved its position in LaLiga and the complete renovation of the stadium is about to materialize. In addition, we will be celebrating 75 years of our company and we want to increase our brand awareness as well as accompany RCD Mallorca in its process of growth.”

Rangers, Alliance Française Boost Female Players’ Education

In a groundbreaking initiative that blends sports with education, Rangers International FC have launched a partnership with the Alliance Française Education and Cultural Centre in Enugu to provide French language training for members of their newly established women’s team.
The move, described as a major step toward holistic player development, is the brainchild of Rangers’ General Manager, Amobi Ezeaku, and aligns with the club’s vision of building well-rounded athletes.
Unveiled during a courtesy visit to Alliance Française on Thursday, the collaboration seeks to equip the players with essential language skills to boost their chances of international success and ease cultural integration abroad.
“We want to go beyond just training on the pitch. This initiative is about sharpening the mental capacity of our players,” said Ezeaku. “Learning a new language, especially French, will prepare them for challenges they may encounter in foreign environments.”
The initiative is seen as part of the two-year-old management’s wider strategy to revolutionize women’s football within the club and across Nigeria.
Director of Alliance Française, Enugu, Mrs. Ijeamaka Ezeilo, commended the club’s forward-thinking approach, describing it as “a bold step that could redefine the development of women’s football in Nigeria.”
“This partnership is not just about language. It’s about raising the intelligence and global readiness of these young women. It is a mission we are committed to seeing through,” Ezeilo said.
She added that the project will also contribute to the broader societal goal of empowering the girl-child through education, promising to lead the process to a meaningful and lasting outcome.
This partnership signals a refreshing shift in Nigerian football, emphasizing not just physical training but also intellectual empowerment, especially for women athletes who have often been marginalized in developmental programs.
As Rangers International FC set a new standard, this could inspire other clubs across the country to rethink their approach to player development.
