Roger Federer, Kei Nishikori and other UNIQLO Global Brand Ambassadors will meet at Ariake Coliseum for a charity tennis event in Tokyo this October, with a part of the proceeds set to be donated to charity.

UNIQLO today announces it will host its first tennis event featuring all of its Global Brand Ambassadors who are professional tennis players. This large-scale event will be held at the Ariake Coliseum, a world-class tennis facility located close to UNIQLO's global headquarters.

Tadashi Yanai, Chairman, President and CEO of Fast Retailing, said, 'We are very pleased that our Global Brand Ambassadors will be in Tokyo to play this tennis match. I am sure our ambassadors will inspire all fans in the audience to find both the passion to realize their dreams and the courage required to never give up. In addition, I am pleased that UNIQLO will be able to make a meaningful contribution to society through proceeds of this match.'

The event aims to make a positive contribution to society, and a part of the proceeds will be used to help further UNIQLO's current humanitarian and sustainability projects. In addition, the event will help communicate the UNIQLO LifeWear concept to a wide international audience.

At the event, Roger Federer and Kei Nishikori will play each other in a three-set match. Also, wheelchair tennis players, Shingo Kunieda and Gordon Reid MBE will play each other in a one-set match. This special UNIQLO occasion marks only the second time Roger Federer has played in Japan, and comes 13 years after his only previous appearance here at the Japan Open, in 2006.
