We are pleased to announce that a special event, "ZICO CARNIVAL 2024," the final installment of the "ANTLERS CARNIVAL" series, will be held on Saturday, November 9th, during the 2024 Meiji Yasuda J1 League Matchday 36 against Nagoya Grampus.
This event is being held as part of the 30th anniversary project of Zico Club Advisor (CA)'s retirement as an active player. In appreciation of his status as a symbol of the club, a commemorative ceremony will be held on the pitch before the match. In addition, the first 20,000 visitors will receive an original design Bonfim bracelet inscribed with the Zico Spirit of "Dedication, Integrity, and Respect" in Portuguese. There will also be large-scale decorations and a special exhibition at the museum.
30 years have passed since the "ZICO CARNIVAL 1994" retirement match held at Kashima Stadium on October 10, 1994. With the Zico Spirit that continues to breathe life into the club, let's all, as the Antlers Family, unite and seize victory.
