The long-awaited new season has finally begun!

On Sunday, February 1st, in preparation for the J1 Centennial League, which begins the following week, we will be holding the "REDS START Rally supported by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries" at the Civic Square in front of the East Exit of Urawa Station, the gateway to our hometown!

This will be the second time the event has been held, following last year's, and the content has been upgraded!
In the first part of the event, "Soccer Town Reds Park" will appear in front of the station, where children and families can enjoy themselves! Everyone will be welcomed by a space where anyone can enjoy sports for free. In addition to this, there will be a photo spot for interactive mosaic art and greetings from mascots, providing an opportunity to experience the charm of the soccer town firsthand.
In the second and third parts, there will be talk shows with special guests and current Urawa Reds players will appear on stage to liven up Urawa Reds and the soccer town of Urawa!

As we approach the start of the new season, let's make this a special day that will raise the excitement together with everyone in our hometown and all those who love Urawa Reds!
The event will be held in a convenient location in front of the station, so please feel free to drop by after shopping, or even if you have never been to Urawa Reds Stadium before.

As this event will be held in a public area, we ask for your cooperation in checking the details and precautions in advance.
