Final Day of the Abu Dhabi Expedition [U-18]

Today is the last day of the Abu Dhabi expedition.

Today, we will be doing running training from the hotel to a nearby beach.
Under the guidance of Trainer Yamamoto, we conducted sand beach sprints while carrying our teammates and competed in wheelbarrow races.

Next, when Coach Migita announces the start, the players dash towards the flag that serves as the marker!

After that, it was free time, and we enjoyed swimming in the sea and playing soccer volleyball!






Today's lunch will be enjoyed at a local restaurant with authentic Arab cuisine, thanks to the consideration of JICE.
While there are players who find it difficult to enjoy the unique flavors and aromas, the tables of Tanimura, Nishiyama, Sakurai, and Takahashi Anri were filled with food.


In the afternoon, we went sightseeing.
It is said to be the sixth largest mosque in the world!
The players are amazed by the scale that exceeds their imagination.


The shopping mall is filled with people happily buying souvenirs.


Mr. Inoue from JICE, who contributed to the preparations and on-site support for this expedition, will remain in Abu Dhabi, so we greeted him at the airport.

Upon arriving in Narita, Mr. Ishiura and Mr. Koji from JICE will part ways here.
We presented a uniform as a commemorative gift.


We were able to successfully complete the Abu Dhabi expedition.
I am truly grateful to all the people involved who provided the players with such opportunities for growth, as well as to everyone at JICE who worked hard on-site.


I want to make the most of this valuable international experience and connect it to my future success!
