"We are very proud to be able to form such a partnership between FC Tokyo, a strong club in Japan, and us, Legia Warsaw. Importantly, first of all, FC Tokyo is a club in the capital of Japan, and Legia Warsaw is also a club in the capital of Poland. I feel that this is meaningful not only as a partnership between the two clubs but also as a partnership between the capitals of the two countries. Not only FC Tokyo, but the J-League is highly regarded in Poland and Europe. I believe this partnership will be a significant step for both parties. Secondly, it is about developing young players. We are confident in our ability to nurture young talent. FC Tokyo is also skilled at developing young players. I believe that exchanging experiences and knowledge regarding player development will lead to wonderful results for both of us."

We hope to see many initiatives and achievements come from this. As a club in the capital city of Tokyo, we see this as our first step in sharing various things with the world."
