□ Sei MUROYA's Comment

This is my first call-up since the Asian qualifiers, and thanks to the trainers and staff in Tokyo, I was able to make it in time for this period. I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me so far and play my best to make the most of this last chance before the Olympics.

"As this is the last tournament before the Olympic team announcement, I am happy to be able to compete as a member during this opportunity to appeal. I want to express my desire to go to Rio de Janeiro and showcase my play to the fullest."
 

□ Shoya NAKAJIMA's Comment

I am very happy to be selected for the U-23 Japan national team, and at the same time, I am really looking forward to the national team match after a long time. With about a month and a half until the Olympics, I want to fight through the Kirin Challenge Cup 2016 to grow as a team and also make a solid appeal as an individual. I want to enjoy playing soccer.
