On October 12th (Monday, public holiday), the "30th Hokusetu District Gamba Cup Boys and Girls Soccer Tournament Supported by Dimps" was held at the OFA Banpaku Football Center.
In this tournament, a total of 10 teams—representative teams from 7 cities and 2 towns in the northern Osaka area, and GAMBA OSAKA Junior—will be divided into two groups to play a round-robin preliminary league. The two winning teams from each group will then compete in the final match on November 21st (Saturday) as a curtain-raiser before the MEIJI YASUDA J1 LEAGUE 15th Sec. game against Fagiano Okayama.

Also, following last year's event, Nitoms Co., Ltd., a group company of our Blue Partner Nitto Denko Corporation, conducted a taping workshop, teaching the children the importance of injury prevention.

Ten teams competed fiercely, vying for a spot in the finals held at Panasonic Stadium Suita.
In Group A, "Takatsuki Gunke FC," representing Takatsuki City, and in Group B, "Minoh Toyohoku JSC," representing Minoh City, both finished first in their respective groups and advanced to the finals.
The two teams will compete for the championship in the final match, which will be held as a curtain-raiser before the Fagiano Okayama match on Saturday, November 21st. In the third-place playoff between the second-place teams from each group, "Hadano Football Club" came in third place overall.
