Newcastle United in Japan: 'Murphy' & Mobility Care Solutions proudly sponsor NewcastleWorld coverage

Konnichiwa! Newcastle United are heading to Japan for pre-season this summer - and NewcastleWorld will be there for every kick.

In preparation for the 2024/25 Premier League season the Magpies will take part in the 'J.League International Series 2024 powered by docomo'. Arriving in Tokyo on Sunday, July 28, Newcastle take on 2022 AFC Champions League winners Urawa Red Diamonds at the 63,700-capacity Saitama Stadium on Wednesday, July 31. They then face J.League runners-up Yokohama F. Marinos at Japan's National Stadium on Saturday, August 3.

Our Newcastle United writer Jordan Cronin will be there all week, providing coverage of the tour, behind the scenes video and analysis from the Far East.

And we’re proud to announce that our Newcastle United coverage of the tour has a sponsor!

Every story from Japan will be sponsored by Mobility Care Solutions Ltd, with the shop’s official mascot Murphy!

About Mobility Care Solutions - who will sponsor our NUFC in Japan coverage

Need help choosing the right Mobility Scooters & mobility aids? From riser recliner chairs to walkers, Mobility Care Solutions Ltd are helping people with every day living needs.

Helping to make lives easier for those with disabilities is something that we are both passionate and care about. We are proud to sponsor coverage of Newcastle United’s overseas matches this summer.

Staying in our own homes and retaining independence as we get older may mean getting some help to do things around the house - whether that’s a grab rail for the shower or a chairlift up the stairs, or even knowing you can have the right products to get you out & about - and to the football!

There are so many mobility aids on the market that it might seem overwhelming, and can be difficult to know where to start.

Our showroom is the perfect place to see what’s on offer and get expert advice, or we can come to you.

The company has nearly 44 years of experience in the business and is committed to ensuring its customers get just what they need for their circumstances.

“We have an ethical policy,” explains managing director Claire Batten.

"To ensure that the customer doesn't purchase a product that isn't suitable for them and which could lead to added complications for a person’s condition."

Murphy (staying true to his black & white colours) highly recommends the Kymco Mini Comfort Scooter - just like his favourite player 'Big Dan Burn' this scooter is solid and dependable - and available in a choice of colours - including glossy black! It is also easy to dismantle and transport in a car boot - making it so much easier for you to travel to watch the matches!
