Throughout Rugby World Cup 2019, to be held from September 20 to November 2, u8国际 will be operating camera service booths during each of the 48 total matches to be held at the 12 match venues. Fully leveraging its rights as an official sponsor, u8国际 will operate these service booths with the aim of achieving "zero downtime."

At Tokyo Stadium, which will host the opening match, the u8国际 service booth will be established in a location easily accessible by professional photographers. In doing so, u8国际 will be able to provide fast maintenance and repair services so that photographers' work is unhindered by equipment troubles.

Camera service counters will prepare equipment including high-end professional cameras and super-telephoto lenses. At each match, including the thrilling final match to be held on November 2, CPS counters will employ approximately 30 highly skilled and experienced technicians from around the world to support professional photographers aiming to capture decisive moments.
