Kashima Antlers will participate in the "J1 Kanto 8 Clubs x Train Stamp Rally" organized by East Japan Railway Company (JR East)!
This project uses the station stamp app "Ekitag" and encourages participants to collect digital stamps installed at stadiums and their nearest stations. We aim to promote environmentally friendly railway travel for match viewing, thereby reducing greenhouse gases and environmental impact.
At Mercari Stadium, car travel is the norm, and traffic congestion before and after matches, along with the resulting CO2 emissions, has been a long-standing issue. We hope this project encourages you to enjoy watching matches by train.
Period
Friday, August 7, 2026 – Sunday, June 6, 2027
Eligible Matches
All home games of the 2026/27 Meiji Yasuda J1 League hosted by the 8 participating clubs.
Participation Fee
