Uniqlo has entered into a sponsorship agreement with the Japan Wheelchair Basketball Federation (JWBF) to support national teams, including men’s, women’s, and next-generation squads, through March 31, 2029. Facilitated by Uniqlo global brand ambassador and wheelchair tennis legend Shingo Kunieda, the partnership aims to enhance the competitive environment and promote an inclusive society.

As part of the deal, Uniqlo will provide uniforms, training gear, and travel apparel. The clothing, featuring ‘Rising Sun’ themes, was developed using athlete feedback to improve functionality, specifically addressing moisture management and preventing fabric from snagging on wheelchair wheels. The sponsorship comes ahead of the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Para Games.
