Kashima Antlers will participate in the "J1 Kanto 8 Clubs x Train Stamp Rally" hosted by East Japan Railway Company (JR East)!
This project uses the station stamp app "Ekitag" to collect digital stamps installed at stadiums and the nearest stations. It aims to promote travel by train, which has a lower environmental impact, when attending matches, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact.
At Mercari Stadium, car travel is the norm, and traffic congestion before and after matches, and the resulting CO2 emissions, have been long-standing issues. We hope this project will encourage you to enjoy watching matches by train.
