Following the government's declaration of emergency in four prefectures, Tokyo, Osaka, Hyogo, and Kyoto, the Soccer J-League will have spectators in these areas during the period from 25th to 11th next month. We are considering holding it without entering it.
In the J-League, in accordance with the government policy, games held in the area subject to the state of emergency have been held with the maximum number of spectators set to half the capacity or the smaller of 5,000, but this time the government is urgent. In accordance with the state of emergency, the four prefectures are requesting that events, including J-League games, be held without spectators in principle.
In response to this, the J-League is planning to hold games scheduled to be played in four prefectures from the 25th of the period when the state of emergency was issued to the 11th of next month as "remote matches" without spectators. We are considering it.
FC Tokyo, Gamba Osaka, Cerezo Osaka, and Vissel Kobe are based in four prefectures in J1, and six home games are planned for the league match and the J League Cup during the period.
However, if the government or local government requests postponement or cancellation, we will consider switching the home and away to hold the event, and we will proceed with the final adjustment based on the content of the request.
