SCHOOL REPORTS School Reports

On the third day, we were able to get a good night's sleep.

Also, after breakfast, we could feel their growth off the pitch as they took the initiative to clean up and do other tasks.

In the morning, we visited a local elementary school.

We went to a fourth-grade class, sat down, and listened to an explanation of what we would be doing today.

After that, we moved to the schoolyard and danced together the dance they were learning in class.

However, conversations about Japanese anime, manga, and popular cards were also lively.

After that, it was free time. We played soccer together, signed autographs, and interacted a lot.

After that, we returned to the classroom and held a Japanese language lesson.

We wrote our names together in kanji and also wrote hiragana.

After that, we performed the FC Tokyo chant, which will be sung during the parade held before the tournament starting tomorrow, as a rehearsal.

We ate school lunch together.

After finishing eating, there was great excitement with the plastic bottle challenge!

As they left the cafeteria, loud cheers of "TOKYO!" greeted them! Here too, they were swarmed with autograph requests.

In the afternoon, we moved to the pitch for final preparations ahead of tomorrow's tournament. We played a training match.

The training matches were against Dynamo Kyiv from Ukraine, with whom we have maintained continuous exchanges, and oneFC Miami.

It was our first time facing an overseas opponent, and we were overwhelmed by their momentum and atmosphere.

After it ended, they firmly shook hands and expressed their gratitude here using English.

After it ended, we thoroughly reviewed the meeting.

To Dynamo Kyiv, who had returned to their accommodation earlier, we expressed our gratitude for playing the training match and for the ongoing exchange.

When we gave them the souvenirs brought from Japan, they were very pleased.

After dinner, we held another meeting using footage from the training match in Japan.

Tomorrow is finally the day of the tournament!

In the morning, all 48 participating teams will parade through the city. In the afternoon, the preliminary league matches will take place.

We will take on the challenge well prepared!
