Introduction

Urawa Reds Heart-full Club nurtures the "heart".

Since the start of the J-League, Urawa Reds has been supported by
They are the people of "SAITAMA", the hometown.
We, Urawa Reds,
I would like to continue to share my “dreams” with the people of my hometown.
And the "heart" that loves the sport of soccer
I want you to grow more and more.

Urawa Reds, with the theme of nurturing the "heart",
Through the wonderful sport of soccer,
We are doing activities to create more communication.
One of them is Urawa Reds Heart-full Club.

The most important thing that sports nurture,
It is the "heart".

Get in shape and hone your technique.
But that alone doesn't make you good at sports.
The most important thing in sports is the heart.
(1) A heart that trusts and cares for friends
(2) A heart to enjoy each other
(3) Willingness to do everything with all one's might
Sports not only give us a healthy body,
It fosters rich creativity and kindness to the people around you.

Our Thinking

The "heart" that can be shared because we love soccer.

chasing one ball. It's just a simple sport.
But why are so many people obsessed?
Through the "communication" called pass,
By heading for the “dream” of the goal,
Because the “hearts” of Eleven and the people who support them can become one.
Feeling the comfort and the bond with friends,
It may be a popular secret.
For a ball running on the field,
Eleven's "heart" is packed tightly.

SOCCER.
This wonderful sport
We will continue to connect everyone's "hearts".

Heartwarming Sport―Soccer Forever.

"HEROs AWARD"

In 2018, Urawa Reds Red Diamonds received the "HEROs AWARD 2018" in recognition of its "Urawa Reds Heart-full Club x Ban Rom Sai" project, which is part of the "Heart-full Soccer in ASIA" project.

The HEROs AWARD aims to find, honor, and support athletes and sports organizations that actively engage in activities that connect with and help society, both inside and outside the stadium. In 2018, in addition to Urawa Reds, 6 teams were awarded, including Mr. Norihiro Akahoshi, who donated wheelchairs, and Mr. Makoto Hasebe, who is an ambassador of the Japan Committee for UNICEF.

Heart-full Soccer in ASIA

In 2007, taking the opportunity of participating in the AFC Champions League (ACL), we entered the opposing country ahead of the match and started "Heart-full Soccer in ASIA", which is a "heart-to-heart exchange" through soccer with local children. Currently, we hold exchanges in Asian countries twice a year, regardless of whether they participate in the ACL. Over the past 10 years, I have visited 40 cities in 27 countries.
In 2008, when the Heart-full Club visited Chiang Mai, Thailand, we were introduced to Ban Rom Sai, a living facility run by a Japanese woman for orphans infected with HIV from mother to child. At that time, prejudice and discrimination against people infected with HIV/AIDS was strong, there was no exchange between the village and the facility, and they were even persecuted. By continuously teaching soccer to children, I created an opportunity to dispel the discrimination and prejudice against HIV/AIDS.

"Sports for Tomorrow Consortium"

In 2019, Urawa Reds Diamonds received a letter of appreciation from the Japan Sports Agency in recognition of its high evaluation for the activities of "Heart-full Soccer in ASIA".

As the host country of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Sports for Tomorrow is an international contribution and exchange project through sports promoted jointly by the Japanese government and the private sector. This is an initiative to spread the Paralympic movement.

In the “Suigen Waku Waku Seminar,” elementary school students and their parents visit the water source, tour the Yanba Dam construction site, and participate in an exchange event with the local elementary school students, such as an introductory soccer class led by the Urawa Reds Heart-full Club. A project sponsored by Saitama Prefecture for the purpose of learning the importance of water and the difficulty of developing water resources, and deepening friendship and mutual understanding through exchanges with people in water source areas.
