From FC Tokyo and the FC Tokyo Players' Association, we would like to report that we have presented FC Tokyo goods as Christmas presents to the children hospitalized at the Tokyo Metropolitan Children's Medical Center (Fuchu City).

In FC Tokyo, we have been promoting various forms of interaction with the children and medical professionals at the hospital, such as visits and online exchanges by the players' association, soccer classes, and public viewings within the hospital.
This time, in conjunction with Christmas on December 25th (Mon), we broadcasted messages from three players, including player chairman Hotaka NAKAMURA, Taishi Brandon NOZAWA, and Kashif BANGNAGANDE, and also gave a set of T-shirts and stationery to the children.

□ FC Tokyo Player Chairman Hotaka NAKAMURA's Comment
"As a player association, we have collaborated with club staff and related parties to donate gifts to children's hospitals. We are grateful for the support we receive and the players have also received a lot of power from it, so we are very happy if we can give back even a little. As players, our main focus is to play with all our might on the pitch, but we also believe that we can contribute off the pitch, so we will continue to think about what we can do as a player association and take action in the future."

□Taishi Brandon NOZAWA Player Comment

'If our activities this time can contribute even a little to the joy and smiles of the children and the people working at the hospital, we would be happy. FC Tokyo is supported by many people. And as a way of giving back to everyone, we feel joy in being able to engage in such activities. We believe that supporting each other is really important. There is always someone watching us, living each day diligently and cherishing it. Let's support each other through the moments of joy and the moments of hardship. From now on, we will continue to do our best so that FC Tokyo can give hope to everyone.'

□Kashif BANGNAGANDE Player Comments

"I myself, when I got injured this year, was supported by those around me. Once again, I realized that I have been able to live thanks to the support of many people. Through this activity, I strongly felt that we professional soccer players can become a source of support and inspiration for children who are hospitalized due to injuries or illnesses. I will continue to do my best in soccer to achieve this. I would be happy if I could continue to engage in activities that empathize with the feelings of children and their families. Thank you to everyone who supported us."

Thank you very much to all the hospital staff, medical professionals, hospitalized children and their families who have supported this activity.
