[U-15] Germany Expedition Report Day 1

The U-15 Fukagawa/Musashi mixed team (U14) will depart for Berlin, Germany today to participate in a street soccer tournament hosted by GAZPROM, the main sponsor of the UEFA Champions League. (June 4th to June 8th)


During this long expedition period, there will also be opportunities to experience live soccer in Europe, such as watching the Champions League final. However, first and foremost, we aim to win the street soccer tournament starting tomorrow, and each player wants to make good preparations.
The opponent will be determined by lottery on the day, so no matter who the opponent is, I want to fight fairly and squarely like FC Tokyo U-15 without hesitation.


Today is the day of travel to Germany.
Boarded a flight to Istanbul, Turkey departing from Narita Airport at 10:00. After a transit, arrived at Tegel Airport in Germany after a flight of about 15 hours.
Arrived at the accommodation in Berlin city by bus at 23:00 local time. It was a long journey of about 16 hours.


The players were unable to hide their fatigue after their first long-distance trip, but they quickly finished their late dinner and prepared for tomorrow with all their might.
If we win the two qualifying matches in the morning tomorrow, we will advance to the afternoon ranking tournament and fight for the final round the day after tomorrow.
