On Sunday, January 12th, the "Everyone's Soccer Festival" was held at MK Taxi Field, sponsored by the GAMBA OSAKA Suita Supporters' Association.
Despite the bitter cold, about 90 people participated, ranging from children of all ages to adults, both men and women.
Following on from last year, 11 former players from the GAMBA OSAKA Alumni Association cooperated in the event, which was held under the theme of "Have fun! Cherish the connections!"
The approximately two-hour event included a stadium tour of the VIP room and pitch side, followed by a soccer class in which participants split into parent-and-child, children, and adult courses, received instruction from alumni, and then played a mini-game.
At the end of the event, a big raffle was held where attendees could win desk calendars and autographed T-shirts, making it a very exciting event.
We received messages from participants such as, "It was so much fun. I'll definitely participate again next year!"
We would like to thank everyone who participated in this event, as well as the GAMBA OSAKA Suita Supporters' Association, the GAMBA OSAKA Alumni Players' Association, and all the staff who helped with the event's management.
