| Note: Due to the two positive tests for COVID-19 in the Kanto Daiichi team (despite no other team members being cited or confirmed with an unwell physical condition), the club decided to withdraw from the tournament. An alternative proposal to bring the pre-registered players (14 players and team members who wasn't part of the official team) instead of the official team (including the 30 players and team officers) was rejected by relevant parties involved.[8] | ||||
