・As the ACL Elite is operated based on AFC rules, regardless of the opponent or venue, support items that may cause confusion (such as the "Rising Sun Flag," "Che Guevara," or flags/banners/clothing depicting "skulls and skeletons") are prohibited. Furthermore, even if a display has been approved by the AFC, if the AFC determines on the day that it contains political, religious, or other messages (including its design), you may be asked to refrain from using it on the spot.
・When submitting a design for a display, please take a photo that captures the entire design and submit it.
・As it may take time for Kashima Antlers and the AFC to grant approval, please submit your application well in advance.
・After the application period ends, all applications will be submitted to the AFC and the opposing club at once.
The above information is subject to change depending on circumstances. We appreciate your cooperation in following the instructions of the organizers and management.
