After the interleague matches, move inside SANGA Stadium by KYOCERA for the much-anticipated top team match viewing! Thanks to the consideration of Kyoto Sanga F.C., seats from the 3rd to the 6th row have been prepared for us.
The children were amazed by the greatness of the soccer-only stadium and how close they were to the pitch! And now, the players' warm-up finally begins!
The pitch was very close to the children's seats, so the children were desperately calling out the players' names! Their voices reached Go HATANO and Taishi Brandon NOZAWA, who waved back, making the children very happy!
During shooting practice, they watched the shots with a serious gaze. Every time an FC Tokyo player took a shot, they enjoyed shouting, "Player 〇〇―――!!"
By watching the top team's shooting practice up close, I believe you were able to truly feel the players' greatness.
During the match, we passionately cheered for the players while singing FC Tokyo chants together with the supporters. Although the goal was disallowed due to an offside call, the moment FC Tokyo shook the net was unforgettable, with everyone jumping up in joy.




After the match, transfer to the hotel by bus.
Leaving SANGA Stadium by KYOCERA, we waved to the supporters of FC Tokyo and Kyoto Sanga F.C., who saw us off. (The children even created their own original chant, and the bus was lively with excitement, haha.) The children happily waved back as well.
I think I was able to experience the feeling of being a player, even if just a little!
