On Saturday, September 9, before the Omiya Ardija match, we held the Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Presents Match Day Festival powered by Nissin Foods at the Kashima Antlers clubhouse.
The Match Day Festival is a 5-a-side soccer tournament. As a participation prize, we gave away "Nissin Donbei Dashi Tencha Udon," and to the winning teams, we presented "Certificates signed by Antlers players" and "Cup Noodle Summer Noodle."

This Match Day Festival, like the previous one, featured matches between different school grades.
Although it felt like summer had returned with the scorching heat, the children's fighting spirit was truly impressive.
