Antlers has previously implemented the "Hometown Kids Pass," which allows children in the five cities of the Kashima Antlers' hometown (Kashima City, Itako City, Kamisu City, Namegata City, and Hokota City) to watch all matches for free, and the "Ibaraki Kids Special Days" invitation and special offer program for children in Ibaraki Prefecture.
For the 2024 season, to provide more children with the opportunity to watch matches at the stadium, we will be expanding the scope of this initiative. All children of elementary school age and younger, regardless of their place of residence, will be able to watch for free in certain seating categories at all home games held at Kashima Stadium (*).
*Some tournaments are not included. Please see "Eligible Matches" below for details.
In addition, prior to the 2024 season, a portion of this initiative will be introduced for some seating categories at the 2023 Meiji Yasuda J1 League Section 34 match against Yokohama FC on Sunday, December 3rd. Details will be announced at a later date. The club looks forward to welcoming you to Kashima Stadium for the final home game of the 2023 season.
Furthermore, regarding interactions and initiatives with children in our hometowns, we will be resuming and further enhancing measures that have been restricted since 2020 due to the impact of the new coronavirus infection, to make the club feel more accessible.
