JFA-KIRIN Family Futsal Festival Report - 200 family members come to Nagahama Dome in Shiga!
29 October 2014
The JFA-KIRIN Family Futsal Festival is a fun event for everyone, where you can enjoy a kick-about with your family. The festival is hosted by JFA and the Prefectural Football Associations and held in 10 locations across the country this year. Any team, which has more than five players including women and elementary school students, can participate. One team can also contain more than one family.
Approximately 200 family members in 24 teams took part in the event at the Nagahama Dome in Shiga on Sunday 26 October. At the ‘Kirin Futsal Lesson’ you could get tips on how to enjoy futsal with your family. This lesson is for the elementary school student, who has been practicing football very hard and is close to beating his father, who doesn’t have enough stamina; or the girl, who dreams of becoming a member of Nadeshiko Japan, and comes with her inexperienced mother. Sagane Kiyoshi, a former member of the Futsal Japan National Team, joined the lesson as an instructor.
The ‘Family Award’ was given to the family, who enjoyed the day most together; the ‘Futsal Award’ was given to those who played futsal in a serious manner to win; and the ‘Festival Award’ to those, who brought uniqueness to the event and enjoyed the day. From the special sponsor Kirin Groups, ‘Kirin Ichiban Award’ was given to the team, in which a father tried the hardest and ‘, ‘Kirin Loves Sports Award’ to the one, in which a child tried the hardest, and ‘Afternoon Tea Award’ to the one in which a woman played the hardest.

Comments
MORI Tomoharu, Mori-mori Family
I’m really grateful that we received the ‘Family Award’.
I enjoyed myself very much with my family. It is such a great festival. I didn’t know futsal could be this fun.
KAWAMURA Yuto and YAMAMOTO Rikuto, YOYOK
We enjoyed ourselves together taking part in this festival.
I’d like to come back next year, definitely.
We will try and practice back home what we learned at the futsal lesson.
OTANI Hiroshi, the chairman of Futsal Committee from Shiga Football Association
I’m grateful that many participated in this festival.
As there are many other events, including local sports festivals and school events, around this time of the year, I wasn’t sure if there would be enough people at this festival. However, I’m pleased to say we have so many participants here.
We have had a lot of feedback from our questionnaire, saying it was a great festival. We successfully hosted this event thanks to the support from Kirin Groups. We, the Shiga Football Association, would like to host similar events, giving people similar opportunities, more often in the future.
