In order to inspire children and promote their healthy development and improve the level of soccer in the region, we are holding the "Hokusetsu District Gamba Cup Boys and Girls Soccer Tournament Supported by Dimps" with the cooperation of the soccer federations and associations of the seven cities and two towns in the Hokusetsu region and Dimps Co., Ltd.
This tournament started in 1997 and has become a dream stage for children every year. Ten teams representing each city and town enter the tournament, and in the preliminary league they are divided into two groups and play a round-robin tournament. The top teams from each group will compete in the final as an opening match for GAMBA OSAKA's home game. We will continue to hold this tournament in the future with the cooperation of many people.

Since 2009, with the cooperation of the Ibaraki Rose Lions Club, we have been visiting Naniwa Juvenile Detention Center in Ibaraki City. Through soccer and question-and-answer sessions, we hope to convey to the boys about the struggles and setbacks they faced on the way to becoming a professional soccer player, as well as the mindset required for a professional soccer player, and to help them with their rehabilitation into society.
In 2023, this activity was resumed for the first time in five years, and players Shu KURATA, Kei ISHIKAWA, Shinya NAKANO, and coach Motohiro YOSHIDA visited Naniwa Juvenile Detention Center. On the day, we engaged in demonstrations, passing drills, mini-games, and other activities with the residents, emphasizing the importance of communication with those around us and solidly supporting our fellow group members.
During the Q&A session, we shared our experiences of overcoming setbacks, the importance of effort, the value of family and those around us, and the significance of not giving up on even the smallest dreams with the residents. By visiting a juvenile detention center, the players, coaches, and staff were able to feel a sense of professionalism and learn how to communicate.

GAMBA OSAKA sponsors the Stick Soccer Tournament, a lifelong universal sport. Stick soccer is a type of soccer in which players sit down without using their feet, hold a stick, and aim for the goal, with the aim of preventing the need for nursing care. Since it can be played while sitting down, it is a sport that can be participated in by people who require nursing care due to old age, or people with disabilities. GAMBA BOY and GAMBA CHEER rushed to the Stick Soccer Osaka Tournament held in 2023 to liven up the event.
