It turned out that Blaublitz Akita of soccer J3 had announced that the number of visitors had been inflated in a total of 85 games in the six seasons up to last year, and was fined 4 million yen by the J League.
This was revealed at a press conference by Kosuke Iwase, president of Blaublitz Akita.
According to it, the number of visitors was inflated and announced in a total of 85 home games from the 2014 season when J3 entered to the 4th section of last season.
In the J League, the rule is to announce the number of people counted by the staff at the entrance as the number of visitors, but Blaublitz announced by counting the number of stands during the game, and 10% of the number counted at the entrance. It means that there were times when we announced more.
In addition, the average number of management staff, etc., that cannot be counted as the number of visitors per game was 75 to 120.
The J-League has decided to fine 4 million yen because Blaublitz did not know the rules accurately.
The club has also decided to reduce the annual remuneration of three executives, including President Iwase, by one-third to one-fifth.
President Kosuke Iwase explained, "I made a mistake because I wanted to get closer to the actual number because I couldn't count at the entrance due to lack of personnel. I want to try to restore the trust of the team." ..
