We have asked for your cooperation in the past, but in order to ensure the safety and smooth travel of the top team, we do not allow signing or taking photos in public places to avoid causing inconvenience to those around us.
There were more people than ever before who approached the players for autographs and photos during the transportation to the Albirex Niigata match held on April 27 (Sat).
During the Golden Week period, there is a significant increase in travel demand, and more people than usual are using public transportation. Airports, train stations, and surrounding facilities are experiencing a high volume of users.
If you are approached by a team while moving or waiting, it can cause congestion and inconvenience to both the general public and facility users. Please do not stop under any circumstances.
Due to the limited opportunities for interaction at the Kodaira Ground, there have been opinions justifying such behavior during transportation. However, we continue to coordinate with the FC Tokyo Players' Association to create more opportunities, assuming that you will follow the rules in public places and prioritize the players' physical condition. However, if the situation continues where the rules during transportation are not followed, there is a possibility that we may have to forego interactions with our fans and supporters in the future.
In the future, when the accompanying staff witnesses the corresponding behavior, we may take photos to identify the perpetrator. Additionally, we may have to consider increasing security and changing transportation methods.
Please refrain from talking to the top team during their movement. Also, we ask for your cooperation in stopping those around you from engaging in such behavior.
Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.
