Regarding the operational verification match for the gradual introduction of vocal support at the 2022 J-League official matches

Today (May 31), as announced by the J-League, there will be an additional operation verification match for the gradual introduction of voice support in official matches. FC Tokyo will host the 2022 Meiji Yasuda J1 League Sec. 20 match against Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo on July 6 (Wed).

In implementing this, we have conducted surveys and discussions with various parties, including the results of the survey on the installation of the "Voice Support Area" for SOCIO members and the J-League, and have made a decision. We will announce the details of the ticket sales schedule, viewing rules, and voice support area for the target matches as soon as the details are determined.

At FC Tokyo, since the spread of the new coronavirus infection in 2020, we have prioritized holding matches safely and securely, and have limited the style of support such as voice cheering from the perspective of infection prevention. As research on infection risks progresses both domestically and internationally, we have gradually reviewed the guidelines and, with the understanding and cooperation of fans and supporters, we are currently able to hold matches without causing group infections from the stadium. We would like to express our sincere gratitude.
As the next step, we aim to create an environment where we can achieve both the recovery of the soccer support culture and the passion and unity through sports, while ensuring safe and secure operation. We appreciate your continued understanding and cooperation.
