We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting the "Sustainability Match: Dreaming the Same Dream Forever" during the 2026/27 Meiji Yasuda J1 League Matchday 9 against Gamba Osaka, which will take place on Friday, October 9th.
Under our sustainability policy, "Dreaming the Same Dream Forever ~ With Antlers, For Sustainability ~," Kashima Antlers is advancing initiatives based on three pillars: Planet, Family (community and connections), and Spirit.
To protect an environment where future generations can enjoy soccer with peace of mind and to create a sustainable stadium, it is essential that we move forward "together with the same passion" alongside our fans and supporters, rather than relying solely on club-led systems.
This match is a special day where you can enjoy participating in environmental actions as a new "match-watching experience and cheering style." We have prepared initiatives to share our journey so far with as many people as possible and to take a step forward from "learning" and "feeling" to "acting together."
At the venue, we will collect everyone's individual small actions as "Sustainability Declarations" and connect them to the sustainable future the club aims for.
