On April 29 (Tue, holiday) 2025, in the Meiji Yasuda J1 League Sec. 13 vs Shimizu S-Pulse (Kick-off at 13:05 / Ajinomoto Stadium), as part of an awareness campaign in collaboration with "HEROs PLEDGE" aimed at eliminating single-use plastic waste from the sports industry, we will implement a trial initiative to provide some of the food and beverages offered at AO-AKA PARK supported by JOYPOLIS using reusable containers and conduct effectiveness verification.
Through this trial initiative, we hope to provide fans and supporters with the opportunity to take home their experiences and insights from the day while verifying the operation of reusable containers. We aim to inspire thoughts on how to achieve a sustainable society and address local issues through FC Tokyo.
