FC Tokyo will continue the "Player Invitation Seats" program in the 2019 season, inviting individuals from local welfare facilities and others. This season, under the initiative of team captain Kosuke OTA, all players (※) have agreed to participate in this project, collaborating with local municipalities, welfare organizations, and education boards to invite them to home games. Please note that the organizations to be invited will be determined through coordination between the club and each municipality. We appreciate your continued support for FC Tokyo's players as they fight alongside the community this season.

As of March 1, 2019

□ What is the "Player Invitation Seat"?
This initiative started from the players' desire to let people experience the excitement of watching soccer live at the stadium and to contribute to the community through soccer. It has been continuously implemented since 2003. The players purchase annual tickets themselves and invite individuals from welfare facilities and children from local soccer teams.

□FC Tokyo Player Association President Kosuke OTA Comment
"We will continue the 'Player Invitation Seats' program for the 2019 season. For each home league match, we will invite 32 individuals from welfare facilities to the main S designated seats, totaling 544 individuals throughout the year. I hope many people will see the players in action at Ajinomoto Stadium and that this will be an opportunity for them to become fans of FC Tokyo. To ensure we can continue such activities in the future, I will give my all in daily practices and matches, striving to be a 'strong and beloved team' this season!"

※ Naohiro ISHIKAWA (currently FC Tokyo Club Communicator), who has been inviting players since his active career in support of the purpose of this project, will continue to invite youth soccer teams this season.
