We are pleased to announce that the "LIXIL Special Match ~SDGs: Happiness for the Future, Together~" will be held during the 2023 Meiji Yasuda Life J1 League 28th Round match against Yokohama F. Marinos on Sunday, September 24th.
With the cooperation of LIXIL Corporation, a club official partner, we will be hosting various events on the match day, themed around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), development goals aimed at achieving a sustainable and better world by 2030, to encourage everyone to think about and work towards future happiness.
The "SDGs Together" initiative will feature club partners who are striving to achieve the 17 SDGs, showcasing their efforts. A stamp rally will be held, and those who collect stamps by visiting each booth will receive an original sticker. Following the great success of last year, a charity eco-bag sale will also be held, featuring illustrations specially drawn by Junsei Chida, familiar from LIXIL x SPORTS. In addition, there will be many other events, such as shuttle bus services to the stadium departing from Tokyo Station, Shinjuku Station, and Yokohama Station.
