"Red Diamonds"

The diamond's supreme brilliance, its strength that cannot be damaged by anything, and its strong bond are encapsulated in this nickname.
Diamonds sparkle in a variety of ways depending on how light hits them. I am convinced that it is only when the light of the supporters shines on the eleven from the stands that the "Red Diamonds" will shine like a bright red flame.
"Red = Red" is the club color. The manga "Red Blood Eleven" set in Urawa is also red. The uniform of the predecessor Mitsubishi Soccer Club was also red.

Club was "Mitsubishi Urawa Football Club" from April 1992 to January 1996. It was nicknamed "Red Diamonds".
In February 1996, Club was changed to "Urawa Red Diamonds".
However, since its founding, it has been called "Urawa Reds" by most people.

"Composition Story"

Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture. The only place in Japan where primroses grow is in the city, and soccer, which became popular in Japan during the Taisho era, was played at Saitama Normal School in Meiji 41. (The Renaissance-style school building at the birthplace of Saitama soccer has been restored and remains as a city museum.)
Saitama City is the hometown of Urawa Red Diamonds. On Trial days, everyone gathers around one ball, and that ball gives rise to conversation and joy, spreading the circle of camaraderie and friendship that connects to the world. This is the "culture" of this town.
Urawa Reds will be the face of Saitama City to the world through sports, and spread the name of the city widely. This diamond-shaped team, with its radiance, invincible strength, and strong unity, is carrying out its activities with these ideals in mind.

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.
