High school and younger fan club members can secure court access during the upcoming Osaka Evessa games under a newly announced Nagoya Diamond Dolphins plan.
The Nagoya Diamond Dolphins announced a special Kids Day event allowing eligible supporters onto the main floor at IG Arena for basketball activity and commemorative photos. Participation requires a separate match ticket and a successful lottery application submitted by December 13.
Fan Club Eligibility Requirements
Applicants must hold premium, standard, light, or youth fan club grades while being of high school age or younger. Each successful participant may bring up to one parent or guardian onto the court surface.
Fans must submit applications using the child’s name, limiting entries to one slot per person per match. Duplicate submissions under the same name for the same date will be invalidated.
IG Arena Main Court Schedule
The club scheduled the court access sessions to run from arena opening until 11:45 a.m. ahead of the Osaka Evessa fixtures on December 26 and December 27. First-wave priority admission begins near 11:00 a.m., followed by general entry at approximately 11:15 a.m.
Capacity is strictly capped at 20 participants per session. Organizers require attendees to bring indoor shoes, as well as their own basketballs if they intend to use them on the court.
Winners Receive Email Notifications on December 18
The club plans to notify selected winners by email on December 18 using the address registered to their fan club account. Transferring winning rights to another match or another individual is prohibited under event rules.
Guardians accompanying minors must remove their outdoor footwear or slip on indoor shoes before stepping onto the playing surface. Officials said that locker rooms will not be available and participants must manage their own belongings.
