Since many children participated individually this time, we formed individual teams for the event.
Although there was some tension when children were placed on teams with others they had just met, they worked together well during the matches.

As a special event, we held a lottery for participants of the Match Day Festival to be escort kids for the J-League match against Yokohama F. Marinos on the same day.

Comment from the representative of Tamatsukuri Kogyo High School Soccer Club:
"I was impressed by how skilled the individual players were, much better than when we were in elementary school. During the games, they communicated as a team, celebrated when they scored, and showed frustration when they conceded, which demonstrated their passion for the game. For the operational side, we were able to work smoothly in cooperation with the staff. However, we found refereeing and communication to be challenging. Thank you for giving us this experience."

The next Match Day Festival is scheduled for Saturday, May 29th, prior to the match against Ventforet Kofu (15:00 kick-off),
with registration at 10:00 at Bokuden no Sato Sports Park (next to Kashima Soccer Stadium).
We look forward to your participation.
