[Important] To all fans and supporters

Due to the spread of the novel coronavirus, there is currently a request from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to refrain from non-essential outings.
The impact of the spread of this new coronavirus is facing unprecedented difficulties on a global scale, and football is no exception. It has become a situation where activities such as "playing," "watching," and "supporting" have to be postponed or canceled. Like all of you fans and supporters, we are very disappointed and sorry that the matches cannot be held.

The most important thing right now is to protect the health and safety of everyone, including the fans and supporters who support the club, stakeholders such as shareholders and club sponsors, players and club staff, as well as their families. Each and every one of us should be aware and sincerely work together as a club to prioritize what needs to be done to suppress the spread of infection.
The club has been conducting training and other activities while monitoring the situation, but we have decided to suspend the activities of the top team for the time being. Similarly, we will also suspend the activities of the academy (U-18, U-15 Fukagawa, U-15 Musashi).

We hope that everyone will work together to stop the spread of infection by prioritizing "actions to protect lives". Some people may feel frustrated and downhearted by the current situation, thinking "I want soccer to return to our daily lives" or "I want to support my beloved team". But now is the time to endure various things towards the end. Let's overcome this difficult situation together and defeat the "invisible enemy" called the novel coronavirus. We are not alone, we can definitely do it.
The club will continue to make every effort, together with the J-League and related organizations, to restart official matches. We look forward to the situation ending as soon as possible, and to being able to return to an environment where everyone can watch soccer and meet with smiles.
