[Updated: 9/13]
As announced by the J-League on Sep 9 (Fri), the entrance restrictions for spectator areas other than the vocal support area have been changed from 50% to 100%. However, due to infection prevention measures, the seating spacing in the vocal support area still needs to be maintained, so it will continue to operate with a maximum of 50%. For more details on the revised vocal support guidelines, click here.
We will hold the home games of October 2 as "Voice Support Applicable Matches".
Please check the changes and precautions for the regular matches before the event. For those who have chosen the refund method for the home general admission SOCIO and those who have purchased the 2022 second half-year tickets, we have set a period for accepting refund requests, so please apply within the designated period if you wish to receive a refund.
