Following last year's J League "Best Youth Development Club Award," the Swedish expedition for the "GOTHIA CUP," representing the J Club Academy, starts today (7/10).

On July 10th, I boarded a flight departing Narita at 10 PM, and after a transit at Doha Airport, I arrived at Copenhagen Airport in Denmark at 1:30 PM local time on the 11th.
Additionally, it took a massive 27 hours to travel from Narita, including a 3.5-hour journey by chartered bus to the dinner venue near the accommodation.

Even so, the players show no signs of fatigue and energetically have dinner.
After checking into the accommodation and having a brief meeting, some players watched the World Cup Semifinal on TV, while others relaxed by lightly exercising on the field adjacent to the accommodation, each healing the fatigue from their long journey and concluding the first day.

For the next four days starting tomorrow, we will strengthen the team and adjust our condition through training and practice matches, arriving at the first day of the tournament in the best possible physical and mental state.
