Teppei OKA (FC Tokyo Player President) Comment

"I actually interacted with the children and received a lot of energy from their bright and lively appearance. Seeing them work hard and enjoy themselves, I once again felt the joy of being able to play soccer as a professional soccer player. And for us players, it became a catalyst for us to face soccer even more sincerely."
We want to continue to be a presence that brings dreams and hope to our hometown and children as FC Tokyo players, and through this activity, we would be happy if it inspires people to come to the stadium, or to have the desire and passion to become better at soccer or become a soccer player.
At the elementary school we visited, we received many warm words of encouragement and cheers such as "Do your best" and "We are rooting for you". Through our activities, we will do our best to express the power we have received in the game.
We want to continue these activities as both a players' association and a club, and create many connections.
