02.The 25th Izumi Mayor's Cup Competition Softball Tournament

　The 25th Izumi Ward Mayor's Cup Competition Softball Tournament has begun under the clear sky.
　This tournament will be held on a total of 7 days from April 14 to June 2, and 37 teams will fight a hot battle to win in six categories. On the day, the opening ceremony was held with the attendance of Makiuchi Softball Association Chairman, Kono Sports Association President, the Kono Sports Association Honorary Chairman of the Hitomi Softball Association, and many other stakeholders. I also gave a greeting and served as the opening ceremony.
　This tournament is a battle against the Izumi Mayor's Cup, but I am very honored as Mayor Izumi to reach the 25th this year. Izumi Ward has strong softball players, and I have heard that Gold Izumi Max won three consecutive victories in the Prefectural Senior Softball Federation Fall Games last year.
　In order for Izumi Ward to continue to be an attractive city, I believe it is important to have a culture in which many people can participate. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked hard. All teams should try to win and work hard in the future.

April 18, 2024 Mayor of Izumi Ken Yamaguchi
