The Match Day Festival is a 5-a-side mini-soccer tournament. Participating children received Nissin Raoh instant ramen as a gift. The winning team also received a certificate with an autograph from an Antlers player.Cherry blossoms were in full bloom on the day. As it was the first Match Day Festival since the new school year began, every team approached the matches with renewed enthusiasm. Parents also cheered on their children passionately, and the tournament was held in a great atmosphere.

On the adjacent court, friendly matches were held between five teams: Tsukuba Jr, Antlers Kenpoku Select, Persimmon, Red Clover, and JACPA Tokyo.☆Winning Teams☆

Comment from a representative of the Kashima Gakuen High School Soccer Club:
"Operating this event made me realize the unseen support we receive. We are usually able to play soccer thanks to the involvement of various people, such as opposing teams, referees, and event organizers. From now on, I want to continue playing with gratitude to everyone around me."

The next Match Day Festival is scheduled for Sunday, April 24th, before the Kashiwa Reysol match (16:00 kickoff), at Bokuden no Sato Sports Park (next to Kashima Soccer Stadium), with registration starting at 11:00. We look forward to your participation.
