Today (May 31), as announced by the J.League regarding the phased introduction of vocal support in official matches, FC Tokyo will hold the match against Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo on July 6 (Wednesday) as part of the 2022 Meiji Yasuda J1 League Sec. 20.

Regarding the introduction, we have conducted a survey on the establishment of the [Cheering Area with Voice] for SOCIO members and made a decision after discussions with related parties including the J.League.
Details regarding the ticket sales schedule for the relevant matches, viewing rules, designated cheering areas, and more will be announced as soon as they are finalized.

At FC Tokyo, since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, our top priority has been to hold matches safely and securely. We have restricted cheering styles, such as vocal support, from the perspective of infection prevention. As research on infection risks progresses both domestically and internationally, we have gradually revised our guidelines. With the understanding and cooperation of our fans, supporters, and all attendees regarding preventive measures, we have now reached a situation where we can hold matches without causing cluster infections in the stadium. We sincerely thank you.
As the next step, we aim to create an environment where the passion and unity through sports can be realized alongside safe and secure management, while restoring the culture of cheering in soccer. We appreciate your continued understanding and cooperation.
