TEAM AS ONE"Reiwa 6 Noto Peninsula Earthquake" Recovery Support Activities Home Game Invitation Implementation Report

On Sunday, August 10th, we held a home game invitation event for the Meiji Yasuda J1 League 25th Sec. match Fagiano Okayama to support the recovery efforts following the Noto Peninsula Earthquake of 2024.

This invitation was funded by the "TEAM AS ONE donations" that fans and supporters have entrusted to us in hopes of helping the disaster-stricken areas recover.
We invited a total of 28 people from Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, including 6 elementary school students, 1 junior high school student, 13 high school students, 7 parents, and 1 member of the Ishikawa Prefecture Football Association (chaperone).
Suzu City is also Nakatani's hometown, and in July he visited a junior high school in Suzu City as part of his reconstruction support activities.

After arriving at the stadium, the children were given a stadium tour of Panasonic Stadium Suita.
Before kickoff, they experienced activities as Escort Kids and Big Emblem Flag Bearers,
and the whole time they spent there were smiles on their faces.

After the match, while they were taking commemorative photos on the pitch,
Usami, Nakatani, and Kaji made a surprise appearance on the pitch!
The children were surprised by the players' sudden appearance, but they were able to pose for a group photo with smiles on their faces.

We pray for the safety and health of everyone in the disaster-stricken areas, and for a speedy recovery.
