Kashima Antlers will participate in the "J1 Kanto 8 Clubs x Train Stamp Rally" organized by East Japan Railway Company (JR East)!
This project uses the station stamp app "Ekitag" and involves collecting digital stamps installed at stadiums and the nearest stations. It aims to promote travel by train, which has a low environmental impact, when attending matches, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact.
At Mercari Stadium, car travel is the norm, and traffic congestion before and after matches and the accompanying CO2 emissions have been a long-standing issue. We hope that this project will encourage you to enjoy watching matches by train.
