On the first day, a league competition was held with 8 groups of 4 teams each. The results of this determined whether teams would compete in the upper or lower league on the second day. There was some tension among the players on the first day of the tournament, but once the matches started, high-level battles unfolded.
On the second day, the upper and lower league matches were held. Due to heavy rain caused by a typhoon, the venue was changed from Journey World's natural grass field to Journey Wakamatsu Grand's artificial turf. However, due to the heavy rain, puddles formed on parts of the field, leading to difficult matches. Despite the bad weather, the children desperately chased the ball for their team's victory and their own growth.
On the final day of the tournament, the typhoon from the second day had passed, and the ranking tournaments were held under wonderful weather. From the second day, "Kitchen Sumire" also sold yakisoba, frankfurters, drinks, and more, making it very lively.
The final match was Omiya Ardija vs. Azamino FC. Before the final, there was a cheer dance performance by PHOENIX, and it was held with a large audience and an atmosphere unique to a final match. Omiya Ardija won this high-level battle, defeating Azamino FC 2-0 and standing at the top of all 139 teams including the preliminaries.
