[Player comments]
My name is Sota Matsunaga, and I am a student at Ryutsu Keizai University. I will be joining Urawa Reds from the 2026 season.
I am extremely happy to be able to start my career as a professional soccer player, a dream I've had since I was a child, as a member of the prestigious Urawa Reds.
I will make full use of my strengths—dribbling, ball control, and goal-scoring ability—which I cultivated at Shizuoka Gakuen High School, and become a player who can captivate fans and supporters with my play and inspire children.
And above all, I will fight with all my heart and soul to contribute to Urawa Reds' victory.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has been a part of my life so far, including my family, coaches, and teammates. Thank you for your continued support.
