Event Details


● Mercari Flea Market

Ibaraki Prefectural Kashima Soccer Stadium was renamed Mercari Stadium in July 2025. This new name signifies Kashima Antlers' and Mercari's determination to commit even more deeply to the local community.

This time, we will hold a flea market where local residents can experience the cycle of value together. In addition to a general flea market that can be enjoyed by all generations, you can also enjoy a flea market unique to Kashima, a "city of sports" where not only soccer but also various other sports and outdoor activities are deeply rooted in the community.

Furthermore, we will simultaneously hold a "Kids' Flea Market" that supports activities that provide children with opportunities to think and grow on their own, and for parents to trust their children and watch them grow.

Prior to the event, we are looking for vendors for the flea market. Why not sell sporting goods, daily necessities, or used clothing? Antlers goods are also very welcome! Please apply!
