[Nagoya Grampus] Announcement of "Sacred Place Mizuho" Opening Pre-Event ~New Anthem Unveiling & Player Talk Show~

We are pleased to announce that the grand opening match at "Sacred Place Mizuho" will finally take place on Sunday, April 19th. Prior to the match, we have decided to hold the "'Sacred Place Mizuho' Opening Pre-Event ~New Anthem Unveiling & Player Talk Show~" to allow all Grampus Family members to enjoy the opening match even more.

This event will feature an introduction to the facilities of Paloma Mizuho Stadium, information on events held on match day, and commemorative merchandise. Additionally, a special talk show will be held by current Nagoya Grampus players and alumni who have played at Paloma Mizuho Stadium.

Furthermore, the new anthem, which has been collaboratively produced since the project launched last year through dialogue with supporters who devised the current anthem sung during player entrances, Akihiko Uchida of Qaijff, and all Grampus Family members, will be unveiled at this event. We will announce the new anthem, sharing the thoughts and production process of those involved in its creation, with the aim of singing it together with the Grampus Family during home games, letting it resonate throughout the stadium, and creating an overwhelming home atmosphere with the new anthem.

This event will be held within the facilities of Paloma Mizuho Stadium and will be live-streamed on the "Nagoya Grampus Official YouTube Channel." Additionally, 50 individuals selected by lottery from those who applied in advance will be specially invited to the stadium before its official opening to watch the event on-site.

Let's all, as the Grampus Family, liven up the newly reborn "Sacred Place Mizuho" after approximately five years!

■ What is an "Anthem"?

Derived from the English word "anthem," meaning "hymn" or "fight song," in soccer, it refers to a song that symbolizes a club or tournament, primarily sung before matches. It plays a role in enhancing stadium unity and supporting the team.
