I've decided not to renew my contract and to look for new coaching challenges.
116 matches on the bench by Maciej Skorża’s side, working at such a large club with incredibly passionate fans – it's a great honor for me.
@REDSOFFICIAL will forever remain in my heart.
Arigato!🙏

Go behind the lens with Getty Images Staff Sports Photographer @StephChambers76 at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. As the Authorized Photographic Agency of FIFA, Getty Images has unique access to exclusive shooting positions for every match on and off the pitch, often from positions not available from any other source. This includes gameplay, fan interactions, locker rooms, tunnels, trophy presentations and more.
Steph shares her approach and what goes into capturing an exciting fan moment like this during the Group Stage match between CA River Plate and Urawa Red Diamonds:
“I have never seen fans like the Urawa Red Diamonds supporters. They cheer so loudly and in perfect unison. It’s intimidating.
During the match, I wanted to capture their energy in a unique way. I went up top to an overlook area that looks directly down at their section. I waited for a chant where they were using their arms in sync. After waiting through a few of their chants, I photographed their arm movements. The extra element of the Japanese flag made the image more graphic and compelling. It was a sea of red.
It can be a tough decision to risk doing this and possibly miss a goal-scoring moment, but sometimes there is no reward without a bit of risk.”
