Comment by J.LEAGUE Chairman Mitsuru Murai:

“To our fans and supporters,

　Today, the state of emergency has been fully lifted.

　I would like to sincerely thank all the fans and supporters across the country, who have been practicing “STAY HOME” to prevent infection.

　Clubs are starting to resume their training by taking safety measures. While it is encouraging to see positive signs, we will continue to be cautious as we prepare plans to restart the league, putting the health of the people as top priority.

　I hope everyone will continue to take measures to prevent infection and to protect your loved ones and hometowns.”
