FC Tokyo and Chofu City have collaborated to open a soccer school for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This school is an expansion of the "Nikoniko Soccer Clinic" that has been held irregularly in Chofu City, and will now be held once a month on a continuous and regular basis.
On May 13th (Sun), the 1st school was held at "Zebio Sports Park Chofu" adjacent to Ajinomoto Stadium. Participants in both the Enjoy Class and Challenge Class actively participated regardless of their strengths and weaknesses in physical activity, and were seen happily kicking the ball. The coaches praised many great plays with loud voices, saying "Nice play!" multiple times.
On the same day, many people enjoyed cheering for FC Tokyo at Ajinomoto Stadium after the school ended, as it was also the home game day for the top team.
※The school introduced this time is a collaboration project with Chofu City, and is open to residents, students, and workers of Chofu City. The "FC Tokyo Aozora Soccer School" for elementary school students attending special needs schools is held at FC Tokyo Park Fuchu.
