May 18th (Mon) AFC Champions League 2 2025/26 Championship Celebration Report

After winning the AFC Champions League 2 2025/26 final against Al Nassr and securing their first title in 11 years, the team returned to Japan from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and immediately held a victory celebration at Panasonic Stadium Suita.
Despite the short notice the morning before and the event being held on a weekday evening, approximately 6,500 fans and supporters attended. We also received numerous congratulatory flowers from our partners and companies that regularly support GAMBA OSAKA.

At the victory celebration, Coach Jens began by Head Coach,
"After a long journey, we've finally been able to bring the cup back to Osaka. The cup belongs to everyone. We want to celebrate together."
And then, from Captain Nakatani,
"I've finally won my 10th title after 11 years. Thank you for your patience."
He then gave his greetings.

Afterward, we all watched as the championship banner was newly installed in the main stand on the fourth floor.
Next, a highlight video of the final match was shown on the screen, and the MC asked Araki, JEBALI, and others questions about the match, while Nakamura shared anecdotes about the ACL2 tour.
At the end of the event, players and fans joined together to raise the cup, sharing in the joy.
Thank you all so much for coming to Panasonic Stadium Suita, even though it was only for a short time.
You can also watch the victory celebration on YouTube.
