A Cheer Message Has Arrived from Tomioka Elementary School in Fukushima Prefecture!
Last year, the players' association visited the disaster-affected area of Tomioka Town, Fukushima Prefecture, impacted by the Great East Japan Earthquake.

We had planned to visit the disaster area again this year, but due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the visit could not take place. The players' association considered "what could be done as much as possible" and engaged in detailed coordination with local people toward implementation, but unfortunately, it did not come to fruition.
Although the players' association visit could not be realized, we received a video message of support from the teachers and students of Tomioka Elementary School, which we visited last year, for the Levain Cup Final to be held on January 4, 2021.
With the support of the teachers and students of Tomioka Elementary School behind us, we will fight in the Levain Cup Final.
