On December 26, 2025, we held an "In-School Friendly Match" for 1st and 2nd grade elementary students attending the FC Tokyo Soccer and Futsal School at Fukagawa Ground!


On the day, over 100 school students participated, forming teams with friends they usually train with at the school as well as with new teammates they met for the first time, and played matches.

Despite the strong wind, the school students played energetically until the very end!

Not only with teammates they usually play with, but also with those who joined the team for the first time, they encouraged each other, and their full effort for the team was impressive♪

Even during the times they were not playing in the match, they supported their teammates without resting, and could be seen engaging in conversations like "How many more wins are needed to advance to the upper league?" and "How many more goals do we need to catch up or turn the game around?" while focusing on the game. This allowed us to once again feel how seriously they approach competition through their regular school activities.

From the coaches in charge of each team came encouraging words such as, "Don't give up yet!" and "Let's all celebrate when a goal is scored!" In addition, positive remarks like "That bold play just now was great!" were constantly given regarding the plays during the match.

In response to those cheers, the school students were seen lively and energetic in their movements!

At the announcement of the rankings, applause was given not only to the winning team but equally to all teams, creating a warm moment where everyone felt like part of the "FC Tokyo family."

After the event ended, each coach conducted a review of the day and individual reflections, fostering communication to encourage a positive approach to future school activities!

At the end, it was impressive to see them say, "I was frustrated, so I want to participate again and get revenge!" and "I was happy to win! I want to do it again."
