9/18 (Sun) Kyoto Match Sensory Room Implementation Report

On September 18 (Sun), at the match against Kyoto Sanga F.C., a sensory room has been set up with the cooperation of J-League for children and families who have been diagnosed with developmental disabilities and have symptoms such as sensory sensitivity, to be able to watch the game with peace of mind.
In the sensory room, we support a safe and secure viewing experience tailored to each child. 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, we have conducted 4 trials, and in the 2022 season, we have conducted 5 trials so far. In addition, we will collaborate with related organizations and educational institutions to select spectators and implement them at the club, so we appreciate your understanding.

【What is a Sensory Room】
A room designed for watching soccer games and movies through soundproof glass, with a comfortable atmosphere that blocks out excessive light and loud noises, and avoids crowds and the gaze of others. The premise is that the "method" of watching and enjoying may be different from the majority, but the desire to "watch" and "enjoy" is the same as those who do not have any difficulties. In the English Premier League, 14 out of 20 teams have installed sensory rooms. (※Quoted from JFA and J League's statement)
