This tournament will be run according to AFC rules, therefore, regardless of the opponent or venue, the use of cheering items that may cause disruption (e.g., flags/banners or clothing depicting the "Rising Sun Flag" or "Che Guevara") is prohibited.
Furthermore, even if a display item has been approved in advance by the AFC, the opposing club may decide on the day of the match to prohibit its bringing in or use.
Please take a photograph of the display material so that the entire design is visible, and submit it.
In addition to the flag design, you will also need to apply for the "pole" or "stick" used to wave the flag.
Regarding national flags, there may be cases where flags other than those of Japan cannot be used or displayed.
- Depending on the opposing team's decision, even official club cheering items may be prohibited from being brought in.
Approval from GAMBA OSAKA and the AFC may take some time.
- After the application deadline, all applications will be submitted together to the AFC and the opposing clubs.
