～Voices of thanks were received from the participants～
◇I am grateful that the children were able to enjoy playing soccer. I don't usually go out to play games all the time, so I would like to have more experiences like this in the future.
Playing with children of the same age gave them a sense of familiarity, and they seemed to enjoy themselves because they quickly became friends with everyone. When I watched the game, my seats were close to the children who played soccer with me, so the children enjoyed watching the game together. Anyway, it was a first experience, and it was impressive that his eyes were shining.
Taking this opportunity, I felt that letting children experience more of the real thing would lead to their growth.

◇It seemed like they had a lot of fun, and they were excited to talk to us even after we came back.
Child (1): “It was my first time to watch a soccer match. The overwhelming size of the stadium, the atmosphere of everyone cheering together, and eating Kenta chicken while watching the game, everything was great. When I touched it, I was surprised at how pleasant it felt.”

Child (2): "I love soccer. My coach taught me to 'think about the opponent and give a gentle pass.' Practice more and get stronger!"

Father: Thank you for giving the children such a valuable experience. At first, my daughter said, ``Huh? I could see many smiling faces.I was so excited by the atmosphere of the stadium, and even after I got home, I imitated the shouts of support.They both said they definitely want to go again!! Thank you very much for the valuable experience.”

◇ After returning home, my son, who was not very enthusiastic, said, "Can we go tomorrow?" When I told him that it was a one-time experience today, he seemed very disappointed.
I thought I would have to leave in the middle of watching the game, but my daughters were absorbed in watching it, and I watched it until the end of the game. Watching the game with a family of 6 is not easy, so I am very grateful to have had such a great experience! Thank you very much!!

◇ When I came home, the first thing I said was "I want Urawa Reds uniform! I want to go again next time!" And I couldn't get over my excitement... I kept saying that I wanted to learn soccer the next day. I had a very good experience. I will never forget the satisfied face when I got home!

◇ My child was not good at soccer from the beginning, and he was not good at soccer because he could not keep up with soccer classes in school physical education. However, it seems that yesterday was a lot of fun thanks to the fun instruction while incorporating the game. He says he wants to play soccer again.
It was our first time to watch a soccer match at a stadium, and we were able to feel the scale and the passionate cheering, and enjoyed watching the match very much.
By the end of halftime, I had become a Reds fan.
Thank you very much for making it a great experience for me and my family.

◇In Heart-full Soccer match, the coaches gave a lot of support, and it seems that they were happy to score a goal!
It was my first time watching a game in such a big stadium, so my eyes were sparkling from the moment I entered and I was in a good mood from beginning to end.
Parents and children alike were entertained by moving their hands to match the cheering of the supporters and getting excited during good scenes.
I would like to participate again if there is such an opportunity! Thank you very much.

◇ "I think it's still difficult for the seniors, but it's important to do your best. Now, even if there are kids who are better than you, you can definitely beat them if you try hard. I've seen a lot of people like that, so it's okay." It's never good, but there was a figure of my child chasing the ball hard. I think it resonated with a 5-year-old child.
Working hard is a given. However, there may be few people who can do it.
I once again felt that it's natural to take things for granted, but it's difficult.
I am convinced that my heart has grown through Heart-full Soccer.
