Saitama Soccer Festa 2024 will be held at NACK5 Stadium Omiya on Sunday, December 22nd.
This event aims to convey the unique charm of Saitama as a "city of soccer" by taking advantage of its status as the home town of four J.League and WE.League teams and holding it in collaboration with Urawa Red Diamonds and Omiya Ardija.

This event will feature an "OB Special Match" between former players from both clubs, a "Kids Soccer Classroom," an "Omiya vs Urawa Dream Match" where former players from both clubs and general participants will play the Saitama Derby, and various other soccer experiences, all with the theme of "Doing," "Watching," "Learning," and "Supporting" soccer. We look forward to seeing you there!
