[U-15] Germany Expedition Report Day 1

Starting today, the U-15 Fukagawa and Musashino mixed team (U14) has departed for Berlin, Germany to participate in a street soccer tournament hosted by GAZPROM, the main sponsor of the UEFA Champions League. (From June 4 to June 8)


During this expedition period, there will be opportunities to experience live football in Europe, including watching the AFC Champions League Final Round. However, first and foremost, starting from tomorrow, we aim for victory in the street soccer tournament, and each player wants to prepare well.
The opponent will be determined by a lottery on the day, so no matter who it is, we want to fight boldly and honorably like FC Tokyo U-15 without any fear.


Today is the travel day to Germany.
Board the flight to Istanbul, Turkey, departing from Narita Airport at 10:00, and after a transit, arrive at Tegel Airport in Germany after approximately 15 hours of flight.
Furthermore, we arrived at the accommodation in Berlin city by bus just before 23:00 local time. It was a long journey of about 16 hours.


The players, unable to hide their fatigue from the long-distance travel for the first time, finished a late dinner and are preparing with all their might for tomorrow.
If we win the two qualifying matches tomorrow morning, we will advance to the ranking tournament in the afternoon and fight for the Final Round the day after tomorrow.
