In recent years, creating daily touchpoints with fans, not just during match viewing, has become an important theme for sports teams. On the other hand, opportunities for community-based interaction and the formation of fan communities are limited, making the building of continuous relationships a challenge.

Against this backdrop, Hirakata T-SITE and OSAKA BLUTEON will open the permanent fan base "Real 'BLUTEON'S HOUSE'" where fans and the team can connect on a daily basis.

The "Real 'BLUTEON’S HOUSE'" will be linked with the official fan community "BLUTEON’S HOUSE" of OSAKA BLUTEON. We plan to sequentially update fan-participatory content throughout the season, such as planning original merchandise and creating maps featuring recommended spots at various match venues to enjoy when watching OSAKA BLUTEON games. By operating it as an experiential space that can continuously provide new customer experiences, we aim to expand points of contact between the team and not only fans but also local residents. Based in our hometown of Hirakata City, we aim to enhance engagement between fans and the team, as well as create local vibrancy centered around sports.
