On Saturday, September 20, before the Sec. 30 match of the 2025 Meiji Yasuda J1 League Kawasaki Frontale vs FC Tokyo, an exchange match was held at "Frontown Saginuma" in Kawasaki City between the FC Tokyo Soccer & Futsal School and the Kawasaki Frontale Soccer School!

Although there was a forecast for rain, the day turned out to be pleasantly sunny, providing the perfect environment for playing soccer. The children enjoyed kicking the ball around with their friends and had a great time during the match.

There were many moments when each team formed a huddle and discussed strategies. Even though the children usually attend different schools, they quickly bonded and united as one team!

The way they actively thought about "What should we do to win?" and exchanged opinions was truly reassuring.

Also, through the match, calling out to and encouraging teammates naturally arose, making it a valuable opportunity to feel the importance of teamwork, not just in playing skills.

After the match, many children smiled and said, "We want to play together again!", making it a wonderful time where the circle of exchange beyond club boundaries expanded.

Furthermore, after the exchange match, there were also children heading to watch the top team's game wearing their uniforms.
We hope that the experience of this day will lead to future growth and motivation for soccer.
