On Dec 8 (Sun), the final match of the 2024 season against Cerezo Osaka will feature special seats called "Pitchside Photo Support Seats" for capturing the atmosphere of the players and the stadium in photos!
This will be the second event following the Kawasaki Frontale match in August.
Capture the last match of the season from the vibrant pitch side and post it to Photo Support!
Once again, with the cooperation of Nikon, which is also a J-League supporting company, we have prepared a "Nikon Camera Trial Experience" where you can fully experience Nikon cameras during the event!
We also provide camera operation instructions and support, so even if you are interested but do not have a camera, you can still enjoy it.
Please come to the "Pitch Side Photo Support Seat" on this occasion.
※Of course, those who have cameras other than Nikon can also participate.
