The Saitama Prefectural Government and the City of Saitama are holding public events to broadcast seven FIFA World Cup matches live on big screens.
The games to be shown at the event, dubbed "Public viewing Saitama," will include games held in the nearby Saitama Stadium 2002, the first-round matches of Japan's national team and the final match to be held in Yokohama.
Admission to the screenings is free but will be limited to the capacity of each facility. To take part in some of the events, participants will be required to obtain numbered tickets, which will be delivered to each site on the day of the game.
