Although it was chilly, the weather was favorable, making for a perfect day for soccer.
As a special guest, former Antlers player Alcindo participated before the match and took commemorative photos with the children. His high-fives with the children, saying "Tomodachi nara, atarimae~" (If you're friends, it's natural), were memorable. The parents were also very happy.
Many teams participated from within the prefecture, including Kashima, Kamisu, Hokota, Tsukuba, Hitachi, Hitachinaka, and Tsuchiura, as well as from outside the prefecture, such as Fukushima, Saitama, and Chiba.
