Uniting all municipalities! IBARAKI BOOST ~ONE Project~

We want all 44 municipalities in Ibaraki Prefecture and the four friendly towns and cities in Chiba Prefecture to visit, and for the local power to unite and support the players. This project was launched with that idea in mind. On the day of the match, we will conduct a survey at a special booth to find out which municipalities fans and supporters are visiting from. Those who answer the survey will receive an original sticker! And if we successfully achieve this project, we plan a special event at our online store! Let's gather the true strength of Ibaraki residents and those living in friendly towns at Mercari Stadium!
