Saitamaball (city)

Saitamaball is a cityball in Japanball and the capital as well as most populous cityball of its namesake prefecture. It is a rather young cityball, only being founded in 2001.

He loves sports, his clay is the home of the Saitama Super Arena, and he has his own Japanese baseball team, the Saitama Seibu Lions, as well as two Japanese pro soccer teams - the Urawa Red Diamonds and Omiya Ardija.

Since 2013, he has been hosting the Saitama Criterium, a special bike race held at the end of October and sponsored by the Tour de France (which is why he considers Franceball a very good friend). It allows Japanese cycling fans to get up close with their favorite Tour riders, as well as the athletes themselves to experience Japanese cultural activities firsthand.
