[U-18] Sweden Expedition Day 5

Fifth day of the Sweden expedition.

This is the travel day to Gothenburg for the Gothia Cup main tournament.
We had a solid training session for about an hour in the morning and said goodbye to the staff at Orbi, who took care of us for five days.


After lunch, we arrived at the accommodation in Gothenburg, about an hour by bus from Orbi.
Starting today, the accommodation during the tournament period is arranged by the tournament organizers, with mattresses laid out in a classroom of a local school, where all players and staff will live together.



From the comfortable private rooms at Orbi's accommodation to communal living while competing in this tournament, the adaptability to the environment is being tested as a football player.

In addition, many teams from other countries are also staying at this school, and we would like to actively promote international exchange.
And today is the World Cup Final Round. As I connected my PC to the projector in the classroom to watch, players and staff from other countries' teams continued to arrive, turning it into an impromptu public viewing.


After that, we took the tram to a restaurant near the match venue for dinner.
During the tournament, players and staff of participating teams can use this tram for free by wearing a wristband.


Today is the day before the tournament, so we have a special dinner at a Japanese restaurant.
On the way back, we conducted a site visit of the match venue and boosted our motivation for the main event of the Gothia Cup starting tomorrow.
