"Red Diamonds"

This nickname reflects the supreme brilliance of diamonds, their unbreakable strength, and their strong cohesiveness.
Diamonds shine in different ways depending on how the light hits them. I am confident that the ``Red Diamonds'' will shine like bright red flames when the supporters' lights shine on the eleven from the stands.
"Red" is the club color. The color of the manga ``Red Blood Eleven'' set in Urawa is also red. The uniforms of the predecessor Mitsubishi Soccer Club were also red.

The club name was ``Mitsubishi Urawa Football Club'' from its founding in April 1992 until January 1996. Their nickname was "Red Diamonds".
In February 1996, the club name was changed to "Urawa Red Diamonds".
However, since its founding, most people have referred to it as the "Urawa Reds."

"Composition Story"

Saitama, Saitama prefecture. The city is home to the only native primrose in Japan, and soccer, which was popular in Japan during the Taisho era, became popular at Saitama Normal School in 1909. (The Renaissance-style school building, the birthplace of Saitama soccer, has been restored and remains as a city museum.)
Saitama City is the hometown of Urawa Red Diamonds. On the day of the game, everyone gathers around a single ball, which creates a topic of conversation and joy for everyone, expands the circle of camaraderie and friendship, and connects to the world. That is the "culture" of this town.
Through sports, Urawa Reds will become the face of Saitama City to the world and spread its name widely. The diamond team, with its supreme brilliance, unbreakable strength, and strong cohesiveness, carries these principles with it.

Hoshokaku

A neat Meiji Western-style building built in Urawa-juku in 1878. The former Saitama Normal School, the birthplace of soccer in Saitama, was built on the site of the current Saitama Kaikan.
Unknown designer. Two-story wooden building. Classical architecture from the Renaissance period to the end of the 19th century. It was named 'Hoshokaku' by Sanetomi Sanjo. In August 1878, before the completion of construction, it became the Emperor Meiji's Urawa residence, and in 1933, this building was certified as a historic site by the Minister of Education as Emperor Meiji's Urawa residence. (Cancelled in 1948) The first prefectural assembly was held here in 1878, the year after the completion of construction, and in 1900, it was also used as Saitama Prefectural Women's Normal School and High School for Girls. In 1925, when the old Saitama Kaikan was built to commemorate the marriage of Emperor Showa, it was moved to the north side and used as a prefectural library.
In 1959, it was dismantled for the reconstruction of the library, and part of the dismantled materials was transferred to Urawa City, and in 1972, it was used for the Urawa Municipal Folk Museum (now Saitama Municipal Urawa Museum). The building is a restored appearance of the same part of Hoshokaku.
