Can the team registration list be posted on the IMGA website? We do not plan to publish a list of the teams currently entered during the entry period. After the entry period has closed, we plan to publish match schedules, start lists, and other relevant information for each sport. The information to be published and the timing of publication will vary by sport. Once the details have been finalized, we plan to notify all participants.
What are the uniform requirements? For the top uniform, it is mandatory to have all members aligned, I would like you to match the colors so that you can see at a glance that you are on the same team. Next, we do not allow clearly different designs (eg, stripes and plain colors, etc.). If there is a slight difference in design (one point, etc.), it will be acceptable. Please match the color and pattern of the lower uniform and socks. doesn’t matter if the manufacturer is different.) We are currently finalizing the details regarding uniform registration and the handling of race numbers and bibs. We will contact you again as soon as the details have been decided.
What are the transportation options to and from the fields? Regarding the operation of shuttle buses for the Sakai City events of the World Masters Games 2027 Kansai, this is still under consideration, but we are currently making arrangements with the intention of operating them. The bus fare is also currently under consideration, including whether it will be charged or free of charge. Please note that both the shuttle buses to the competition venue and the public buses are planned to depart from and arrive at Sakai Station on the Nankai Railway. Once the details have been finalized, they will be announced on the World Masters Games 2027 Kansai website, so we would appreciate it if you could wait a little longer. Thank you for your understanding.
What are the registration options for spectators, non-playing staff and volunteer referees? Spectators are not required to register or pay a participation fee; however, spectator access may be restricted depending on competition operations and other circumstances. Supporters are not permitted to enter the competition area. If entry is required, please apply under the ‘Non-Playing Officials’ category. Please note that, depending on the sport, there may be restrictions on which areas Non-Playing Officials can access, or the Non-Playing Officials category may not be available. For further details, please consult the Sport Information Guideline: https://wmg2027.jp/en/competition/ Assistant referee duties is available only to those registered in the soccer category under one of the following classifications: “athlete,” “Non-Playing Officials,” or “supporter.”
