About spectator manners for the 3/17 (Wed) Shonan match

In the case of a super strict security system and a strict security system during matches, in addition to the J-League common spectator manners and rules, we will also prepare in accordance with the J-League New Coronavirus Infection Control Guidelines that have been newly established as a measure against the new coronavirus infection.
There is a possibility that restrictions, transition periods, and operating methods may change suddenly depending on the spread of the new coronavirus infection, government announcements, and decisions of each local government.

This match will be held after the current state of emergency declaration (3/7), but at this time, the lifting has not been officially decided, so the match operations will be the same as the 3/3 (Wed) Tokushima match, 3/6 (Sat) C Osaka match, and 3/10 (Wed) Kobe match.
We plan to relax the entry restrictions according to the operating protocol at that time if the situation changes, such as the lifting of the state of emergency in the future.

Visitor seats will not be sold at the time of ticket sales, but will be sold after the relaxation of restrictions has been confirmed.

Also, please note that there is a possibility that the kickoff time may change due to the extension of the state of emergency. We will inform you again in that case.
※As of 3/2 (Tue)
