[For All Grades] We Held a Home Game Event at the Prince Takamado Trophy JFA U-18 Soccer Premier League 2026!
On Sunday, June 29, during the Prince Takamado Trophy JFA U-18 Soccer Premier League 2026 EAST match "FC Tokyo U-18 vs Kashima Antlers Youth," we held a home game event for school students.
High Five & Warm-up Observation
After high-fiving the players in the entrance area that is usually off-limits, we closely observed the powerful warm-up session.
During the high-five, each school student cheered on the players with words they had thought of themselves, saying, "Do your best!" and "Please win!"
During the warm-up, the intensity of the shooting practice in front of the goal especially drew loud reactions from the school students.
Various comments also came from the school students, such as "The power of the shots is amazing!" and "The goalkeeper's kicking strength is incredible!", making it a very enjoyable time.
Hand in Hand
Before the match, the school students held hands with the FC Tokyo U-18 players and entered the pitch at Ajinomoto Stadium.
It was a valuable experience to stand on the pitch of the large stadium, which they usually watch from the TV or stands, and enter together with the players.
Some children showed slightly nervous expressions before entering, but with the kind encouragement from the FC Tokyo U-18 players, their smiling entrance left a strong impression.
It was also a valuable opportunity for the FC Tokyo U-18 players to interact with the school students who will carry the future of FC Tokyo.
Thank you to the school students and their parents who participated.
At FC Tokyo, we will continue to create opportunities through events that connect the top team, academy, and school, allowing children to feel dreams and aspirations.
