On Sunday, September 28, 2025, during the Meiji Yasuda J1 League Sec. 32 match between FC Tokyo and Yokohama F. Marinos, a home game event was held.

[1] Warm-up Observation

We observed the players' warm-up right before the match from the pitch side!

Being up close, the school students and their guardians were able to feel the atmosphere of the players, the tension, the sound of the ball being kicked, the players' voices, and other experiences that are usually impossible to feel!

There were also school students who had been taught by Ryota Inoue, the assistant GK coach who served as a coach in the development department until last year.

There was even a scene where Ryota Inoue, the assistant GK coach, waved and interacted with them.

This time, with four players being promoted from the academy, there was a player greeting during the warm-up observation, allowing everyone to experience a different atmosphere.

We hope to continue providing valuable experiences for our school students through activities like these.

[2] Banner Walk Kids

At halftime, 2nd and 5th graders attending the FC Tokyo Soccer & Futsal School carried the FC Tokyo Soccer & Futsal School banner as they walked around the pitch!

While practicing carrying the banner, TOKYO DOROMPA and Marin-chan from Yokohama F.Marinos made a surprise appearance! We took commemorative photos together!

Just before the end of the first half, it seemed like a goal was conceded, but the goal was canceled after VAR review.

The school students quickly shifted their mindset and, despite the strong wind, showed a confident walk with smiles on their faces.

Fans and supporters also smiled and waved at them in response to their appearance.

After the event, many school students shared their impressions, saying, "I found my parent!" and "It was fun! I want to do it again!"

We will continue to provide experiences that excite our school students!

Thank you all for your participation!
