The evacuation order following the lightning strikes around Saitama Stadium was lifted at 4:30 p.m. as the weather improved.
Thank you very much to everyone who cooperated with the evacuation guidance. Although the change was made for safety reasons, we apologize for making you wait for so long in the rain.

In addition, with the evacuation order being lifted, the stadiums will open at 17:30 for both home and away games, and the kickoff time will remain at 19:00.
However, due to sudden changes in the weather, etc., we may make various decisions with safety as our top priority (such as canceling or suspending Trial, changing the kick-off time, etc.).

In order to ensure a safe and speedy entry into the stadium, matchday cards and other materials will be distributed after Trial.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
