Creating a Welcoming Stadium for All: Urawa Reds’ Support for Assistance Dogs

At Urawa Reds home games, we strive to create a stadium environment that everyone can enjoy, regardless of their abilities. As part of this effort, we⁢ have been holding training sessions on how to accept assistance dogs and⁢ awareness events to ⁣ensure that people with assistance dogs can enjoy the game without worry.

We are proud to announce that⁤ we have donated a⁣ portion of the sales from⁤ our charity goods, featuring⁤ original Urawa Red Diamonds designs, to the Japan Guide Dog Association, a public interest incorporated foundation.

Donation Amount: 91,000 yen

The Japan Guide Dog Association will use this donation to support guide​ dog training programs, enabling blind or visually impaired ‍individuals to live independently and participate ⁤in society.

What is an Assistance Dog?

Assistance dogs, including guide dogs, service dogs, and hearing dogs, play a vital role in supporting individuals ​with⁣ disabilities, such as visual, hearing, ​or limb disabilities. These dogs undergo specialized training, and their users ⁣take responsibility ⁤for managing their hygiene and behavior. Facilities that accept assistance dogs are obligated by law to ⁢do so.

Encountering an Assistance⁢ Dog at the Stadium or in Town

• Assistance dogs are highly sensitive ⁢to their users’ instructions. Please observe them​ warmly and avoid ⁢distracting them with actions like talking, staring, ⁢or touching.
• If ⁤you see an assistance dog in need ‍of support,⁣ please communicate with its user by asking, “Can I help you with anything?”
