LeRIRO Fukuoka, the Ukiha City-based rugby team, is poised to ascend to the prestigious ranks of Japan’s League One, entering its third division in the upcoming season. Remarkably, since its inception merely two years ago without the backing of any major corporate sponsor, the team has swiftly distinguished itself by clinching the regional league title consecutively. Team captain Naoki Yasuda shared his elation and pledged to persist in providing rugby that not only entertains and inspires but also fulfills dreams. The team aims to stage their home matches at Kurume City Comprehensive Athletic Park, among other selected venues, as they prepare for their ambitious journey in the top tier of Japanese rugby.
