14日、「埼玉県民の日」にちなんで、ホームタウンの子どもたちにクラブから特別な体験を提供し、夢や希望を与えたいという思いから選手バス乗車体験ツアーを実施した。

日頃、選手が乗車するチームバスは、過去に車内の見学が行なわれたことはあるものの、浦和レッズの選手やチームスタッフ以外が乗車することはなく、今回のように子どもたちを乗せて運行することは初めての試みとなる。この日、浦和美園駅から埼玉スタジアムまでの区間を、子供たちを乗せた浦和レッズの選手バスが4度往復し、93名の子どもたちがこの企画に参加した。



After checking in at the Urawa Misono Station rotary, the children boarded the players' bus while saying goodbye to their families. The children boarded the bus with a mixture of excitement and nervousness on their faces, and the faces of their families watching them also showed a variety of emotions.

As the bus departed Urawa Misono Station, interviews with the three players and video messages for children prepared for the day were shown on monitors.
The children were fascinated to learn where the players usually sit, what they do on the bus on the way to the stadium, and what the view from the bus is like.



The children then arrived at the stadium and were given a tour by team staff.
The children were excited when they reached the locker room following the same path as the players on game day. They took photos in the locker room, decorated with Urawa Reds uniforms from the past, and enjoyed a special experience learning about the players' behind-the-scenes through explanations and quizzes from team staff about how the lockers are used on game days and the equipment prepared for each player. In the locker room, they enjoyed the atmosphere while imagining the tension on game day and the players' preparations.







Finally, a commemorative photo was taken in front of the players' bus, and the special event for the day came to a close.
