"Saitama Soccer Festa 2025" will be held at Urawa Komaba Stadium on Monday, November 24th (a public holiday).

This event aims to convey the unique charm of Saitama City as a "soccer town" by taking advantage of its unique position as the home town of four J.League and WE.League teams and holding it in collaboration with Urawa Red Diamonds and RB Omiya Ardija.
This is a fun-filled day-long event themed around "playing," "watching," "learning," and "supporting" soccer, with activities including an "OB Special Match" featuring former players from both clubs, an "Elementary School Soccer Class," a "Urawa vs. Omiya Dream Match" in which former players from both clubs, female players, and members of the public will play a walking soccer Saitama Derby, and various soccer experiences. We look forward to seeing you there.
