The presence of midfielder Takefusa Kubo has helped rocket Spain’s RCD Mallorca into the consciousness of Japanese soccer fans over the last three seasons.

But even with the 21-year-old set to land elsewhere this summer following the end of his most recent loan, Mallorca is still bullish on its relationship with Kubo’s homeland — extending its global sponsorship agreement with material developer Taica Corporation, whose Alpha Gel brand will again grace the front of the team’s uniforms during the upcoming Spanish first-division season.

The club reaffirmed its commitment with a four-day media tour of Japan over the weekend, with Mallorca’s CEO of Business Alfonso Diaz and team captain Dani Rodriguez unveiling the team’s home uniform for the 2022-23 La Liga campaign.
