Report on the Sensory Room Implementation for the Kyoto Match on 9/18 (Sunday)

On Aug 8 (Sun) during the match against Kyoto SANGA F.C., a sensory room has been established with the cooperation of the J.League, allowing children diagnosed with developmental disorders and their families, who experience symptoms such as sensory sensitivity, to watch the game comfortably.
We support safe and secure viewing tailored to the child in the sensory room. Moving forward, we will continue to operate the sensory room as an inclusive space where everyone can enjoy with a smile.
*In the 2021 season, four trial matches were held, and in the 2022 season, five matches have been conducted so far. Additionally, regarding the selection of spectators, we will work with relevant organizations and educational institutions to implement this at the club, so we appreciate your understanding.

【What is a Sensory Room?】
A room designed to provide a safe environment where one can enjoy watching soccer or movies through soundproof glass, equipped with appropriate lighting that is not too bright and soundproofing to block loud noises and voices, while avoiding crowds and the gaze of others. The premise is based on the idea that the way of viewing and enjoying is different from the majority, but the desire to "watch" and "enjoy" is the same as those without difficulties. In the English Premier League, 14 out of 20 teams have established sensory rooms. (Quoted from JFA and J League)
