Based on the philosophy of "creating a prosperous community and society for future generations," Urawa Reds joined the Saitama Prefecture Crime Victim Support Promotion Council in October 2021 as part of the club's social contribution efforts. Furthermore, in January 2025, the club signed an Agreement on Crime Prevention Town Development with Saitama Prefecture and the Saitama Prefectural Police, and is working together to implement various initiatives to ensure safe and secure lives for prefectural residents.

We are pleased to announce that at MEIJI YASUDA J1 100 YEAR VISION LEAGUE Regional League Round 8 match against FC Machida Zelvia on Sunday, March 22nd (MATCH PARTNER Kamu Kamu Lemon), Urawa Reds and Saitama Prefectural Police will be collaborating to provide children with an opportunity to learn about police careers and hold events that will make police activities more familiar to them.

This day is "GoGoReds! Day," when many children visit the stadium.
Why not take this opportunity to experience the work of the Saitama Prefectural Police, who protect our town and our lives every day and also help us create safe stadiums?
