9/18 (Sun) Kyoto Match Sensory Room Implementation Report

On Sep 18 (Sun), we have set up a sensory room in cooperation with J-League at the Kyoto Sanga F.C. match, where children with developmental disabilities and their families who have been diagnosed with sensory hypersensitivity and other symptoms can watch the game with peace of mind.
In the Sensory Room, we support a safe and secure viewing experience tailored to each child. Moving forward, we will continue to operate the Sensory Room as an inclusive space where everyone can enjoy with a smile.
※In the 2021 season, we have conducted 4 trials, and in the 2022 season, we have conducted 5 trials so far. In addition, for the selection of spectators, we will collaborate with related organizations and educational institutions and implement them at the club, so we appreciate your understanding.

【What is a Sensory Room】
A room designed with lighting that is not too bright and soundproofing that blocks loud noises such as loud voices, providing a safe space away from crowds and surrounding gazes, where you can enjoy watching soccer matches or movies through soundproof glass. The premise is based on the idea that although the ways of viewing and enjoying may differ from the majority, the desire to "watch" and "enjoy" is the same as those without difficulties. In the English Premier League, 14 out of 20 teams have sensory rooms installed. (*Text quoted from JFA and J.League)
