A total of four coaches and team staff members of the Sendai 89ERS, who will be the opponents of the pre-season games on September 10th (Sat) and September 11th (Sun), have been tested positive for the new coronavirus infection. rice field. According to the regulations of B.LEAGUE, in order to hold official games (league games and championships), it is necessary for a person with a coach license to enter the bench as a coach, and if the conditions are not met, the game will not be allowed to be held. However, due to the fact that this is the pre-season, both teams have agreed to play the match without the Sendai 89ERS coach.

The four pre-season games will be extremely important as we head into the season opener on Saturday, October 1st. Practice games were scheduled for September 3 (Sat) and September 4 (Sun), but they were canceled due to the influence of Typhoon No. 11. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Sendai 89ERS President Takehiko Shimura, Head Coach Fujita Hiroki, Sendai 89ERS officials, and most of all, the Sendai 89ERS players for their understanding that the pre-season games can be held.

In addition, from the perspective of a strategy to attract sports conventions in Okinawa Prefecture, the efforts of the Sports Promotion Division of the Okinawa Prefecture Culture, Tourism and Sports Department have also given consideration to the aspect of training camps for professional basketball teams, and we have received a great deal of cooperation from Okinawa Prefecture.

I am grateful that this event will be held as a fellow basketball-loving friend.

In addition, Mr. Shigeyuki Kinjo (Sendai assistant coach) will not be able to attend the ceremony for the retirement of Mr. Shigeyuki Kinjo (Assistant Coach of Sendai) after the match, but the event will be held as planned with guests invited. We promise to give due consideration to preventing the spread of infection, so please come to Okinawa Arena.
