Important Notes (Common)

1. About Your Visit

• ①There is no parking at Kodaira Ground. Please refrain from coming by private car or motorcycle. Parking at nearby commercial facilities is not only considered a nuisance and may lead to reporting, but it may also result in the cancellation of future practice sessions being open to the public, so please absolutely refrain from doing so.
  • Even when using nearby commercial facilities, if the main purpose is visiting Kodaira Ground or if you are seen wearing FC Tokyo merchandise, please be aware that you may be subject to reports and other actions.
• ② When arriving by bicycle, please cooperate by following the guidance of staff and security personnel to park closely in the designated bicycle parking area.
• ③ Waiting in large groups in front of nearby stores or raising loud voices on surrounding roads is prohibited as it causes inconvenience to local residents.

2. About the Facilities

• ① The number of chairs at the viewing area is limited. You may bring your own folding chair, but please be considerate of others if there are many visitors. Please refrain from spreading vinyl sheets or other mats. Also, please take good care of your valuables and belongings.

• ⑥ Please refrain from visiting if you have symptoms such as fever or poor physical condition. If you clearly show symptoms of poor health, you may be asked to leave the facility.

3. Response to Severe Weather and Summer Period

• ① In cases where severe weather is expected based on prior forecasts, during the summer period when heat index standards (such as issuance of heatstroke warning alerts) apply, or when the spread of infectious diseases is anticipated, please understand that the practice sessions open to the public may be canceled to ensure the safety of visitors and players/staff. If a cancellation decision is made by the day before, it will be announced on the top team schedule page. When considering attending, please be sure to check the schedule in advance.
• ② On the day, in case of sudden bad weather or if the heat index exceeds the standard value, staff may announce the cancellation of observation or the cancellation of interaction after training even during training. Safety will be our top priority, so we ask for your cooperation in a smooth exit.
  • Practice schedules are subject to sudden changes. Please understand in advance.

About Practice Observation

On days when 'Open Practice' is listed in the Training Schedule on the official FC Tokyo website, anyone can come and watch the practice.

[Notes for Observing Practice]

• Please follow the instructions and guidance of security personnel and staff, and observe in the designated area.
• ②Please refrain from taking videos or photos during training. Whether using video cameras, digital cameras, tablets, smartphones, or any other devices, and regardless of purposes such as personal viewing as a memento, all photography is strictly prohibited. Also, taking notes on training content or participating players, and posting text-based content on SNS or similar platforms is prohibited. This is to prevent providing information to opposing clubs, so we appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
• Please refrain from speaking to players during training.
• ④There may be balls flying into the viewing area, so please be careful. Also, please understand that we cannot be held responsible for any accidents, injuries, or health issues that may occur during practice observations.

Regarding Interaction (Photos & Autographs)

On days when the training schedule on the official FC Tokyo website lists "Open Practice," anyone can interact with the players (photo sessions and autographs). Also, on days listed as "Closed Practice" with a note stating "Gate opens after practice," the training is closed to the public, but the gate will open after the full training session for interactions.

• Depending on the player, they may not be able to participate due to condition adjustments or scheduling conflicts. Therefore, not all players will pass through the 'Interaction' zone, so please understand this in advance.
• Please refrain from calling out to or stopping players who do not pass through the 'Interaction' zone.
• If there are many people wishing to interact, please understand that we may suddenly limit the interaction to high-fives only.

[Notes on Interaction]

• ① The "interaction" consists of photo (still image) shooting and autograph signing, and as a general rule, each person can receive one item per player (either one photo session or one autograph). Please understand in advance that we cannot accommodate requests for personal names or messages other than autographs, or filming of message videos. Also, please refrain from video recording.
• To minimize the time players stop to converse, we ask fans and supporters to be considerate of those around them and the players' conditions, and to cooperate with each other.
• ③Please refrain from handing over items brought by customers or infants to players for photography. Also, please refrain from requesting poses during photography or handing over smartphones or cameras to players for taking photos.
• ④ Photos (still images) taken during the 'Interaction' session may be posted on SNS and other platforms.
• ⑤ You may bring letters or gifts for players; however, as a general rule, please do not hand them directly to the players. Instead, write the player's name on the item and place it in the gift box located in the "Interaction" zone (if it is raining and the box is unavailable, please ask the staff). The staff will deliver the items to each player. Please note that food, beverages, hazardous items, expensive goods, and valuables cannot be accepted (any such items found in the box will be disposed of).
• ⑥ Players' autographs, photos, etc. may not be sold without the club's permission. Please use them only for personal enjoyment, such as on social media or websites.

Members Only Access & Interaction

On days when Training Schedule is marked as 'Members Only' on the FC Tokyo official website, only those who have been selected through a prior application lottery from among various members, including FC Tokyo OFFICIAL MEMBERSHIP, will be allowed to observe the practice and have interaction (either a photo or an autograph, one item only).

• The applicable membership types vary depending on the schedule. Details such as eligibility and application methods will be announced separately on the headline news section of the FC Tokyo official website.

[Important Notes for Members Only Access]

• On the day of the event, you will be admitted to the viewing area by verifying the membership card (digital or card) of the winners.
• ② Regarding companions, we will inform you whether it is possible at the time of the implementation notice. Please be sure to check the recruitment guidelines at the time of implementation.
