We sincerely thank you for your continued support and cheers for FC Tokyo.

In accordance with the spirit of the "Joint Statement on Ethics and Compliance in Japanese Football," FC Tokyo, as a member of Japan's sports community, complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and rules, and works every day to operate the club with high ethical standards and a strong commitment to compliance.

However, we have recently identified several incidents that the Club cannot overlook, including defamatory and abusive posts on social media targeting specific players, as well as insulting parody songs containing the names of specific companies or organizations.

Defaming or insulting specific individuals, organizations, or companies not only hurts those targeted and damages their reputation and credibility, but also shows a lack of respect for others and may undermine an environment in which everyone can enjoy sports with peace of mind.

Passionate support and strong emotions are among the great attractions of sports. That is precisely why we ask that you channel that passion not into expressions that lack respect for others, but into a force that supports the club and its players. We strongly urge you to refrain entirely from defamatory or abusive language directed at individuals, including players, as well as cheering or singing that contains insults toward specific individuals, organizations, or companies.

We ask for your understanding and cooperation as we work together to create an environment where everyone can safely enjoy watching and supporting sports with peace of mind.
