We would like to report that FC Tokyo and the FC Tokyo Players Association have presented FC Tokyo merchandise as Christmas gifts to the children hospitalized at the Tokyo Metropolitan Children's Medical Center (Fuchu City).

So far, FC Tokyo has engaged in various forms of interaction with the children and medical staff of the hospital, including visits and online exchanges by the players' association, soccer classes, and public viewings in the hospital.
This time, in line with Christmas on December 25 (Mon), we broadcasted a message video from three players: Hotaka NAKAMURA, Taishi Brandon NOZAWA, and Kashif BANGNAGANDE, in the hospital, and also gifted a set of T-shirts and stationery to the children.

□ FC Tokyo Players' Association President Hotaka NAKAMURA's Comment
"This time, as the Players' Association, we collaborated with club staff and related parties to send gifts to a children's hospital. We are very grateful for the support we receive regularly, and if we could give back even a little, it makes us very happy. As players, we certainly play our best on the pitch, but I believe there are still many ways we can contribute off the pitch as well, so we will continue to think and act on what we can do as the Players' Association in the future."

□ Taishi Brandon NOZAWA's Comment

"I am happy if our activities this time could be of some help to the children and those working in hospitals, bringing them joy and smiles. FC Tokyo is supported by many people. We also feel the joy of being able to engage in such activities as a way to give back to everyone. I truly believe that supporting each other is very important. There are definitely people who see each individual living each day with care and effort. Let's support each other through both joyful moments and tough times. Moving forward, I want FC Tokyo to continue to give everyone hope."

□Kashif BANGNAGANDE's Comment

I myself was supported by those around me when I got injured again this year. It was a year where I realized once again that I am able to live thanks to the many people who support me on a daily basis. Through this activity, I strongly felt that as professional soccer players, we can become a source of support and admiration for children who are hospitalized due to injuries or illnesses, and I will continue to work hard in soccer. I would be happy if I can continue to engage in activities that resonate with the feelings of children and their families. Thank you to everyone who cooperated.

Thank you very much to the hospital staff, medical professionals, and the children and their families who were hospitalized and supported this activity.
