Ota Ward's First "Official Match Leading to J.League" / Farewell Party Held for Player Koki Ando, FLUTTO-FLUTTO Defeated 2-1!!

Tokyo Shakaijin Soccer Second Division League: Omori FC 2-1 FLUTTO-FLUTTO

July 5, 2026 (Sun), Matchday 6

Omori Kasumi Park Soccer Field, Ota Ward

Omori FC, still undefeated in league play, held its first official match in Ota Ward for a league that leads to the J.League, facing FLUTTO-FLUTTO, a strong club within the same league. Over 300 supporters and people of various nationalities and ages attended the event, creating a festive atmosphere filled with the smiles of children.

Before the match, a farewell party was held for Koki Ando, an alumnus of Omori FC who made a surprise transfer from Mito Hollyhock to Royal Antwerp FC (Belgium), with many Omori FC academy players in attendance. The "Omori FC Official Supporter Baseball Shirt" presented by Meiji Yasuda, a club sponsor, was also given to many attendees.

In the match, early in the first half, No. 29 Shunsuke Obata won a penalty with a sharp dribble, and No. 9 Ryuta Iwai calmly scored. In the second half, despite being pushed back for a period, No. 7 Kazuki Takahashi scored the second goal from a corner kick. Although the opponent scored one goal afterward, they managed to withstand the fierce offensive pressure and secured a 2-1 victory.

Omori FC Representative Kojima commented, "There were times in the second half when we were pushed back, but with the power of the people of Ota Ward, we managed to defend until the end. Today was the club's first time hosting in Ota Ward, so I'm glad we could win in front of so many fans and supporters."

"Aiming to be a club loved and needed by the community"

LOCALHEROES Inc. operates the club as a regional HERO and a regional resource, contributing to the creation of a community where people enhance their happiness through sports, live with rich hearts, enjoy life, and achieve WELL BEING.

[Comment from Naoto Kojima, Omori FC Representative / Top Team Manager]

While the World Cup is exciting, those of us involved in the sports industry have a mission to enhance its value as a means for people to live fulfilling lives, rather than exploiting its power. To achieve this, strong and concentrated energy is needed, and it is effective to realize this with a sense of unity at the regional level, as seen in other countries. Ota Ward has top-class potential in Japan, yet it lacks stadiums and communities for such purposes. First, we hope that by experiencing regional sports entertainment, voices will arise saying, "This should be done better!" or "Let's continue this more!"
