Thank you very much for your support and encouragement for FC Tokyo.

The 2019 season tickets will only be valid for home games held at Ajinomoto Stadium. However, all 17 home games for the Meiji Yasuda J1 League will be held at "Ajinomoto Stadium". For J.League YBC Levain Cup group stage matches, all matches will be held at "Alternative Stadium".
