T.Pro Innovation Japan is pleased to announce its support as the Main Sponsor for Kemp FC, India in the 2022 KWL League.

After 4 years of association in motorsports with Indian company, Ten10 Racing and Honda India, T.Pro Innovation, Japan now comes onboard as the main sponsor for an upcoming women's football team Kemp Football Club from Bangalore, India. This is a first of its kind association of a Japanese business supporting an upcoming football team.

Kemp Football Club is an amateur club owned by Kemp Excellence Foundation, a non-profit organisation conceived and run by parents of women football players. These parents spent most of the pandemic "Working From Stadium” during their kids’ training sessions. Eventually they fell in love with this beautiful game, so they decided to form a club of their own. Headed by an all women board, they have come together to support and empower young women football players in their state and country.

T.Pro is no newbie to India. It is owned by a former world championship and official HRC racer, Mr. Yusuke Teshima who in 2016 partnered with an Indian racing team to create opportunities for Indian professional motorcycle racing athletes.

Mr. Teshima, being a footballer himself in his school days, has a vision to step into other sports and collaborate with like-minded teams and people to expand their horizon and enable this by innovation and technology support.

This new partnership will seek to create new opportunities and avenues for talented young football players from India in Japan and other parts of S.E. Asia.

T.Pro Innovation Founder & CEO, Mr. Yusuke Teshima said:

"India is very special to us at T.Pro Innovation. We have been competing in the Asian Road Racing Championships for years with our Indian partner who shares our values. We want to use the power of sport to contribute to society outside of racing. We are delighted to start a new challenge with Kemp FC. Together with Kemp FC, we will take on the challenge of building a bridge between Japan and India."

Kemp FC President, Ms. Kathleen De Saran said:

"With a long-term vision and mission to develop, support and empower women’s football, Kemp FC is excited to collaborate and get support from T.Pro Innovation, Japan as our main sponsor in our opening season. This will give the team a big boost to work towards building a unique platform for women football players to seek opportunities in a country like Japan which is ranked 11th in FIFA ranking and 2nd in AFC ranking."

Kemp FC - Director, Team Operations, Mr. Samir Kamerkar said:

"I am personally so excited that in our first year of participation we have found a key international partner such as T.Pro Innovation from Japan who are like minded to support sport and women’s football in India. We hope to facilitate our team with a few exchange and coaching programs in Japan with the support of our partner Mr. Yusuke Teshima."
