From the pitch to the community: Inter connects with its Japanese fans

The tenth anniversary of Inter Academy Tokyo was more than a celebration – it marked a true international launch for the Club in Japan, strengthening Inter’s global strategy to connect and empower Nerazzurri communities around the world.

The Inter delegation, joined by Club legend Andrea Ranocchia, met with local Inter Club members, the beating heart of Nerazzurri passion, to reinforce ties with the Japanese fanbase. Ranocchia also officially inaugurated the new Inter Club Japan Samurai, based in Tokyo, embodying the spirit of “Leave a trace", the central theme of the 2025/26 Inter Club membership campaign.

The trip to Japan also offered a valuable opportunity to engage local stakeholders and strengthen Inter’s brand presence in the country. Students from Technos College in Fuchu attended a special session on the Club’s international marketing strategy, gaining insight into the vision and global development of Inter. Some of those students later took part in a dedicated “spin-off” photoshoot for the new College Collection.

Key Club partners such as Konami, Pirelli and Canali also supported the initiative, contributing to the success of the trip. Canali, in particular, dressed Andrea Ranocchia for the occasion, highlighting the connection between style and sporting elegance.

A collective project that once again demonstrates Inter’s ability to create authentic and consistent experiences in every market, enhancing its international network and strengthening its bond with fans, partners and local communities. Another significant step in the Club’s global growth journey, which continues to connect cultures and passions under the same nerazzurro spirit.
