Day 1 of the Germany Expedition.
The U-18 team starts their tour to Germany today (from March 23 to March 30).

In preparation for the "Takamado Cup U-18 Soccer League 2018 Premier League EAST" starting on April 8, we aim to strengthen the team and experience world-class soccer to enhance individual skill levels.

Departed from Narita Airport at 10:50 and arrived at Düsseldorf Airport after approximately a 12-hour flight.
From there, we traveled by bus for 3 hours to Paderborn, which will be the base for our current expedition, and arrived at the hotel.

After that, we had dinner at the hotel and watched the friendly match between the German national team and the Spanish national team in our rooms, rubbing our sleepy eyes due to jet lag.

During this expedition period, we are scheduled to compete against one of the top teams in the Bundesliga youth category (U19), but we want to challenge and fight in the style of FC Tokyo U-18 without any fear.
