In addition to the J.League common spectator manners and rules, a new set of guidelines for preventing the spread of the novel coronavirus has been established. We will proceed with preparations in accordance with the J.League Guidelines for Preventing the Spread of the Novel Coronavirus during the super strict security measures and strict security measures for matches.
There is a possibility that restrictions, transition periods, and operating methods may change suddenly due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, government announcements, and decisions by each local government.
This match will be held after the current state of emergency declaration (3/7), but at this time, the lifting has not been officially decided, so the match operations will be the same as the matches against Tokushima on 3/3 (Wed), C Osaka on 3/6 (Sat), and Kobe on 3/10 (Wed).
We plan to relax the entry restrictions according to the operating protocol at that time if the situation changes, such as the lifting of the state of emergency in the future.
Regarding visitor seats, we do not sell tickets at the time of release, but plan to sell them after the relaxation of restrictions has been confirmed.
Also, please note that there is a possibility that the kickoff time may change due to the extension of the state of emergency declaration. We will inform you again in that case.
