Many people, including players from the Brazilian first division team Chapecoense, died in an airplane crash in Colombia on November 28. In order to pay our respects to those who lost their lives in this accident, a moment of silence will be observed before the 2016 Championship Final (2nd Leg) held at Saitama Stadium.
Kashima Antlers will also wear black armbands during the match.
We express our deepest condolences to those who died in this accident, and our heartfelt sympathies to their families and all those involved with Chapecoense.
