Thank you for always supporting FC Tokyo.
As announced by the J-League on May 17 (Tue), in order to further enhance the experience of watching sports with COVID-19, it has been decided to gradually introduce "vocal support areas/vocal support seats" in each J-League match while implementing effective infection control measures.
◇J-League announcement is here
Definition of Vocal Support
At the spectator seats, it refers to the act of continuously and repeatedly raising one's voice with a louder volume than usual.
※Temporary cheers such as during scoring do not apply.
We plan to gradually introduce under the following conditions.
・A designated area of the spectator seats for the target match is specified as a "voice cheering area" with wide seat spacing (※checkerboard seating with space in front, back, left, and right), and only visitors who have purchased seats (voice cheering seats) in the designated area are allowed to cheer by speaking, while wearing non-woven fabric masks.
・Matches that are not eligible for vocal support, or vocal support in non-target areas, continue to be prohibited.
・You can watch the game as usual by filling the seats, except for the "cheering area where you can shout".
・The cheering area will be designated as an area focused on "cheering by raising your voice" for the time being, and the act of eating food or drinking alcohol will be prohibited, and should be done outside the area (except for replenishing fluids excluding alcoholic beverages).
・In accordance with the government's basic response policy, the number of visitors will be limited to a maximum of 50% of the stadium's total capacity
Regarding the introduction, it will be decided by each club, so when considering the pros and cons of gradual introduction, we would appreciate your opinion on introducing vocal support in the seat type you are currently purchasing or in another seat type.
Since the spread of the new coronavirus infection in 2020, we have prioritized the safe and secure holding of matches and have limited the style of support such as cheering with a loud voice from the perspective of infection prevention. As research on infection risks progresses domestically and internationally, we have gradually reviewed the guidelines and, with the understanding and cooperation of fans and supporters who come to the venue, we have reached a situation where matches can be held without causing cluster infections from the stadium as of 2022. We would like to express our sincere gratitude.
As the next step, we aim to create an environment where we can achieve the passion and unity through sports while ensuring safe and secure operations, along with the recovery of the soccer support culture. We appreciate your continued understanding and cooperation.
