Using Sports to Bring Courage and Energy to the People of Asia during the Ongoing Pandemic
OSAKA, Japan–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mandom Corporation (Headquarters: Osaka, Representative Director and President Executive Officer: Ken Nishimura), and its growing GATSBY brand of cosmetics for young men, launched the GATSBY GLOBAL CHALLENGERS project, hereafter, GGLC, as a way to bring courage and energy to the people of Asia during this time of pandemic, working with young athletes active on the global stage. Mandom reports that Dang Van Lam, the Vietnamese goalkeeper for the J.League�s Cerezo Osaka, will join Thirdy Ravena, a player for the SAN-EN NEOPHOENIX B.League basketball team appointed as an ambassador last year, as a new project ambassador for the GGLC project.
GATSBY GLOBAL CHALLENGERS (GGLC)
The growing spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to hit sports hard, but we also continue to believe that sport not only brings the hope of energy and excitement to people, it also possesses an embodiment of the strength needed to overcome challenges.
GATSBY, a brand that has grown in the twelve countries and regions of Asia, and which has continued to be there for young men, wholeheartedly supports not only athletes who leave their homes to compete within sports with both passion and pride, as well as the teams who have chosen those athletes. The GGLC project in 2020 was begun to bring courage and energy to the people of Asia for the EMPOWER ASIA message.
With no clear end to the pandemic in sight, it is time to double down on our efforts and amplify Mandoms message to the people of Asia. Cerezo Osaka shares in Mandoms desire to use sports to bring courage and energy to the people of Asia, and with the signing of Empower Asia Partnership Agreement, Dang Van Lam left Vietnam to play soccer in a foreign country, has been chosen as a new ambassador. This is the first opportunity for J.League to share a message of support with the people of Asia in the midst of the pandemic.
Mandoms top partnership agreement with SAN-EN NEOPHOENIX has also been renewed, and Thirdy Ravena will continue to serve as our project ambassador. Mandoms hope is that this project will be a sense of optimism not only to young men but to all of the people of Asia.

Im really happy to see Mandom and Cerezo Osaka enter into the Empower Asia Partnership Agreement. As Vietnam, my home, and the rest of Asia struggle with the massive impacts of the pandemic, I join Mandom in their desire to use sports to bring courage and energy to the people of Asia. Starting in November, I will serve as a GGLC Project Ambassador as part of the Empower Asia Partnership Agreement for Cerezo Osaka. I hope I can help the GGLC project to achieve further success through my own performance for Cerezo Osaka.
