[U-18] Sweden Expedition Day 5

Day 5 of Sweden Expedition.

This day is the day of moving to Gothenburg where the Gothia Cup main tournament will be held.
I said goodbye to the staff at Orbi's accommodation, where I had been taken care of for 5 days, after training for about an hour in the morning.


After lunch, we arrived at the accommodation in Gothenburg, about an hour away by bus from Orby.
From today, during the tournament period, the accommodation will be arranged by the tournament organizers, with all players and staff living together in one classroom with mattresses laid out.



From living in a comfortable private room at Orbi's dormitory, to living as a group while competing in this tournament, the adaptability of soccer players to their environment will be tested.

In addition, many teams from other countries also stay at this school, and we actively want to promote international exchange.
And today is the World Cup Final Round. As I watched the game on the projector provided in the classroom, players and staff from other countries started to arrive, turning it into an impromptu public viewing.


Afterwards, we took a tram (streetcar) to a restaurant near the stadium to have dinner.
During the tournament, players and staff from participating teams can use this tram for free by wearing a wristband.


Today, as it is the day before the tournament, we had dinner at a special Japanese restaurant.
After returning, we visited the game venue and raised our motivation for the Gothia Cup main tournament, which starts tomorrow.
