This will be the second "Cheering Section Operation Verification Match" at Kashima Antlers home games, following the 2022 J-League YBC Levain Cup Playoff Stage Matchday 2 against Avispa Fukuoka on Saturday, June 11. To create a stadium filled with the passion and unity that football brings, under safe and secure match operations, we ask all attendees to review and adhere to the viewing rules and guidelines.
Please note that while the viewing rules and guidelines for both verification matches are the same, tickets for the "Cheering Sections" in this match will be sold with a seating arrangement that leaves one seat empty in all directions (checkerboard pattern). As a result, the number of seats will be fewer than the traditional capacity, and there is a possibility that you may not be able to watch from your desired area.
The entire club looks forward to your visit. Let's fight together at Kashima Stadium.

■About Cheering Section Operation Verification Matches
These matches are designated by the J-League for verifying the operation of cheering sections, with effective infectious disease control measures in place, as part of the "phased introduction of cheering at official matches." Based on the government's basic response policy, operations will be verified in several matches from early June to July, after which all interested clubs will be able to introduce cheering sections.
