Moving forward, we will continue to strive for improved convenience for our customers when watching matches at the stadium, and we will operate matches safely and securely. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

■Regarding Spectator Rules
In the 2022 season, we were able to implement "vocal cheering" in a total of 5 matches, including the "Vocal Cheering Operation Verification Match," which was the first such implementation in a domestic official match. We would like to express our gratitude once again to the Antlers Family members who have adhered to the "new spectator style."

As of January 20th (Friday), the "J.League COVID-19 Response Guidelines" stipulate that "the capacity limit for vocal cheering areas is 50% (omission), and for spectator areas other than vocal cheering areas, the capacity limit is 100%." Antlers' policy is to hold every home game as a "vocal cheering eligible match" in principle (*).

After the 2022 season, when the normalcy of fans and supporters cheering for the team in the stadium, which was once a given in football, began to return, let's, as the Antlers Family, work together to bring even greater excitement back to Kashima Stadium. The home opener is on Saturday, February 25th, against Kawasaki Frontale in the 2023 Meiji Yasuda Life J1 League Matchday 2. We ask for your passionate support.

Please note that details of the spectator rules will be announced again. For safe and secure match operations, we appreciate your continued cooperation in adhering to the "new spectator style."

(*) This may change depending on future circumstances and revisions to the "J.League COVID-19 Response Guidelines."

Regarding "J.League 30th Anniversary Special Match"


The 2023 Meiji Yasuda Life J1 League Matchday 13 match against Nagoya Grampus on Sunday, May 14th, will be a home game held at the National Stadium.

Following the opening match of the J.League held at the National Stadium on May 15th, 1993, a match between two "Original 10" teams will be realized as the "J.League 30th Anniversary Special Match."

Details regarding various ticket sales will be announced at a later date once they are decided.

■To SÓCIO and Season Ticket Holders
For the match against Nagoya, which will be a home game held at a venue other than Kashima Stadium, we will provide seats of a similar category to your annual ticket seats.

Details regarding spectator seats and benefits for SÓCIO and season ticket holders will be announced at a later date once they are decided. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the venue change and appreciate your understanding.
