From FC Tokyo and the FC Tokyo Players' Association, we would like to report that we have presented FC Tokyo goods as Christmas presents to the children hospitalized at the Tokyo Metropolitan Children's Medical Center (Fuchu City).

In FC Tokyo, we have been promoting various forms of interaction with the children and medical professionals at the hospital, such as visits and online exchanges by the players' association, soccer classes, and public viewings within the hospital.
This time, in conjunction with Christmas on December 25th (Mon), we broadcasted messages from three players, including player chairman Hotaka NAKAMURA, Taishi Brandon NOZAWA, and Kashif BANGNAGANDE, and also gave a set of T-shirts and stationery to the children.

□ FC Tokyo Player Association President Hotaka NAKAMURA's Comment
"This time, as the Player Association, we collaborated with club staff and related parties to send gifts to a children's hospital. We are very grateful for the support we receive regularly, and if we could give back even a little, it makes us very happy. As players, we certainly give our all on the pitch, but I believe there are still many ways we can contribute off the pitch as well, so we will continue to think and act on what we can do as the Player Association in the future."

□ Taishi Brandon NOZAWA's Comment

I am happy if our activities this time could be of some help to the children and those working in hospitals, bringing them joy and smiles. FC Tokyo is supported by many people. We also feel the joy of being able to engage in such activities as a way to give back to everyone. I truly believe that supporting each other is very important. There are definitely people who are watching each individual live each day with care and effort. Let's support each other through both joyful moments and tough times. Moving forward, I want FC Tokyo to continue to give everyone hope.

□Kashif BANGNAGANDE's Comment

'I myself, when I got injured this year, was supported by those around me. Once again, I realized that I am able to live thanks to the support of many people. Through this activity, I strongly felt that we professional soccer players can become a source of support and inspiration for children who are hospitalized due to injuries or illnesses, and I will continue to do my best in soccer. I would be happy if I could continue to engage in activities that empathize with the feelings of children and their families. Thank you to everyone who supported us.'

Thank you very much to all the hospital staff, medical professionals, hospitalized children and their families who have supported this activity.
