After the 2016 Meiji Yasuda J1 League 1st Stage Matchday 15 against Urawa Reds on Saturday, June 11, a discriminatory post against Caio was discovered on social media. We would like to inform you that we are currently investigating the facts of this matter in cooperation with the J.League.
The J.League and J.Clubs regularly conduct various awareness activities aimed at creating a world free of discrimination and violence, and it is truly regrettable that such an incident has occurred amidst these efforts.
Discriminatory acts are unacceptable under any circumstances, and Kashima Antlers will continue to work with the J.League to eliminate discrimination.
