FC Tokyo U-15 Fukagawa and Musashi mixed team will participate in FOOTBALL FOR FRIENDSHIP 2016 IN MILANO (May 26-30) as they did last year.
 

The first day is a flight of about 12 hours from Narita to Milan.
The flight was long, but the players were able to relax and enjoy their meals on board.
After arriving safely at Milan airport, we moved to our accommodation by bus. At the hotel, the players were surrounded by athletes and media from other countries participating in the tournament, and they naturally smiled and did not seem tired.
A commemorative photo shoot and a tournament draw were held, and the group league qualifiers have been determined to face teams from Kazakhstan, Turkey, and Serbia.

After checking in at the hotel, a meeting will be held to prepare for tomorrow's tournament.
The coach from the north talked to the players about three "lessons".

The first is to learn to play for FC Tokyo and the Japan national team.
Learning from watching the AFC Champions League Final Round.
The third is international exchange, learning about other countries' cultures. Actually watching, feeling it with your skin, and actively engaging in it.

Confirming the significance of this expedition with players and staff once again.
Afterwards, have a solid dinner and the first day is over.

Prepare your condition for tomorrow's qualifying league.
