[Updated: 11/26]
Nanae Hirokawa, the FC Tokyo photo support ambassador, will be attending and has confirmed her viewing from the pitchside photo support seats.
On Dec 8 (Sun), the final match of the 2024 season against Cerezo Osaka will feature special seats called "Pitchside Photo Support Seats" for capturing the players and the atmosphere of the stadium in photos!
This will be the 2nd Round following the match against Kawasaki Frontale in August.
Capture the last match of the season from the vibrant pitch side and post it to Photo Support!
Once again, with the cooperation of Nikon, which is also a J-League supporting company, we have prepared a "Nikon camera trial experience" where you can fully experience Nikon cameras during the event!
We will also provide instructions and support for camera operation, so even those who want to start now or are interested but do not have a camera can enjoy it.
Please take this opportunity to visit the "Pitchside Photo Support Seat."
* Of course, those who have cameras other than Nikon can also participate.
