On June 6 (Mon), 14 (Tue), 15 (Wed), and 16 (Thu) in 2022, the FC Tokyo Players Association conducted visits to elementary schools.
The elementary school visits, which have been continuously conducted since 2008, are now in their 15th year.

This year, considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted the event online. In addition to Fuchu City, Mitaka City, Chofu City, Kodaira City, Nishitokyo City, and Koganei City, we also visited online for the first time nine elementary schools in Suginami Ward, Setagaya Ward, and Shibuya Ward as a club.

Although we couldn't have direct interactions on-site, it was a fun exchange filled with smiles at each school.
Additionally, player Mita visited Setagaya-ku Matsuoka Elementary School, his alma mater, and cheered on the children who are his juniors.

□Comment from Manato SHINADA (FC Tokyo Players' Association Chairman)

In addition to the six elementary schools that provide significant support every year, we also conducted online visits to new local elementary schools in Shibuya, Setagaya, and Suginami, organized by the players' association. We hoped that the children could learn something useful for their future lives from us players, but instead, we were energized by the brightness and pure, shining presence of the children.
I would like to express my deep gratitude to everyone who worked hard to make this elementary school visit possible. Through activities like this, we will continue to engage in various initiatives to help more people get to know FC Tokyo.
And I hope that during the next visit, we will be able to interact directly with the children! We appreciate your continued support and cheers for FC Tokyo.

□Hirotaka MITA Comment
※Online visit to his alma mater, Setagaya-ku Matsuoka Elementary School

I love Setagaya Ward, my hometown, and this time I had the opportunity to conduct my first online class at Matsuki Elementary School, my alma mater, located in Setagaya Ward, and I really enjoyed it myself.
In Setagaya Ward, there are probably many people who are not very familiar with FC Tokyo, and many children who have never been to the stadium. We hope that this visit will be an opportunity for them to become interested in FC Tokyo and come to the stadium.
