On July 25th (Saturday), we will be holding "GAMBA OSAKA KICKOFF FES Supported by Meiji Yasuda" at Grand Green Osaka.

This event is a special event leading up to the start of the 2026/27 season, and the new mascot will make its first appearance in front of fans and supporters.
We will announce the name of our new mascot, chosen from 13,855 name submissions, and begin selling mascot-themed food and merchandise. You can enjoy a variety of content commemorating the new mascot's debut. In addition, Takuro and Karin Kojima, the 2025 M-1 champions, will appear as special guests!

From the evening onwards, a fantastical night festival will be held, featuring performances by "Wadaiko Masaya," a Japanese taiko drumming team active in Takatsuki City, the hometown of GAMBA OSAKA, and the "Japan Century Symphony Orchestra," active in Toyonaka City, in conjunction with lighting effects by Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd.'s "Yoi-en (Yo-en) Urban Design Cloud." Please come and enjoy a special day with your family and friends.
