Report on the "Ibaraki City x GAMBA OSAKA Collaboration Project Public Viewing" event held on September 6th (Sun) for the Meiji Yasuda J1 League Matchday 6th Sec. against Chiba.

Today's MEIJI YASUDA J1 LEAGUE 6th Sec. against JEF United Chibawas held at the Ibaraki City Cultural and Childcare Complex Oni-Kuru , a joint event with Ibaraki City for the third time this year. As with last year, it was planned to be held outdoors, but due to bad weather, it was moved to the Kitashin Hall.

Inside the Oni-Kuru Hall before the match, Meiji Yasuda held a "Build a Body That Won't Lose to Gamba! Let's All Challenge Ourselves with a Health Check" event , and two other events were held by students of the OTEMON GAKUIN UNIVERSITY GAMBA OSAKA Project . Despite it being just a few hours before the match started, many people came to visit.

The event was further enlivened by the presence of GAMBA OSAKA alumnus Shinichi TERADA Terada as a guest and DAZN stadium reporter Mariko Takeshima as the MC.
In addition, Mayor Fukuoka of Ibaraki City also attended and watched the match together with everyone at the venue.

During halftime, we held a grand raffle with prizes for a total of 12 people, including the "Oni-Kuru Award," "Meiji Yasuda Award," "OTEMON GAKUIN UNIVERSITY Award," and "Gamba Award," allowing everyone to enjoy themselves in addition to watching the match.

Thank you to the many fans and supporters who came early in the morning to pick up numbered tickets due to the limited number of seats, to everyone who cheered enthusiastically for each and every play, and to all those involved who worked hard to make this event a reality.
Unfortunately, we were unable to secure a victory for the first time since the opening match, but we were grateful to have approximately 400 people come to watch, both inside the hall and standing.

The banner with all of your messages of support will be displayed inside the Oni-Kuru building again this year, so please take a look when you visit.

We will continue our collaborative projects with Ibaraki City, aiming to create a club that is rooted in the community and loved by its members.
We would appreciate your continued enthusiastic support for GAMBA OSAKA.
