Club Overview
Kashima Antlers are a J1 League club based in Kashima, Ibaraki, holding the record for most J.League titles (9) — Japan’s most decorated football club. Their home, Kashima Soccer Stadium, holds about 40,700, and since the city itself has a small population, most supporters travel in from elsewhere.
Seating Guide
Seating is split between the Main Stand (west side, near the team benches) and the Back Stand (cheaper, but gets strong afternoon western sun); the goal-end areas are divided into home Supporters Seats and away Visitor Seats.
