[6/17 (Fri) Update] Sales period extended.
This time, 21 J.League players with ties to Kumamoto Prefecture, including those who were born there and spent their junior high and high school years there, will be at the center of the team.
As part of the charity activities in response to the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, we have decided to sell T-shirts. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds will be used to invite children from Kumamoto to Roasso Kumamoto's home games.
FC Tokyo has agreed to support the same activity and cooperate in the sale of T-shirts, so we would like to inform you.
[Purpose]
After considering what we can do as a soccer family in response to the extensive damage caused by the Kumamoto Earthquake in Heisei 28, we have created and are selling charity T-shirts with the participation of 21 J-League players who are from or have connections to Kumamoto.
Provide children affected by the disaster with the opportunity to attend Roasso Kumamoto's home games through the sales proceeds of T-shirts, and give them a chance to dream and hope through soccer.
