We will deliver the report for the 9th and 10th days of the Spain-Portugal expedition, which was conducted from Apr 3 (Mon) to Apr 12 (Wed).
On the 11th (Tuesday), the 9th day of the expedition, we will finally head back home. We will return to Japan after approximately 25 hours, which is one of the significant experiences of this expedition.
Part of the breakfast at the hotel in San Sebastián. High-quality ham is served regularly in meals.
At 9:00, we said goodbye to Manu, a staff member of Real Sociedad, in front of the hotel where we stayed in San Sebastián during the "37th Real Sociedad U-17 International Tournament." With his warm personality, he created an environment for the players and staff to focus on the matches, and he also guided us to watch La Liga matches and explore the city of San Sebastián.
After leaving the hotel, we took a bus for about 5 hours to Madrid's Barajas Airport while enjoying the vast greenery. Along the way, we had lunch at a drive-in frequently used by locals.
After arriving at Barajas Airport, we said goodbye to Mr. Yamazaki, who coordinated the match arrangements and scheduling for this expedition in Portugal. We vowed to reunite with Mr. Yamazaki, who is active on the world stage, in the near future, and the players also presented him with a gift.
And finally, departure.
About 4 hours to Istanbul Airport in Turkey, followed by approximately 11 hours to Haneda Airport.
Arrived on the 12th (Wed) after 19:00.
At the airport, there were the appearances of Shoei SASAKI and Yuta SUGAWARA, who were members of the runner-up team at the 50th Montaigu International Tournament held in Nantes, France as part of the U-16 Japan national team.
In the end, we promised to utilize what each player felt during the expedition in our future activities and then disbanded.
We appreciate your continued enthusiastic support for the FC Tokyo U-18 players.
