The U-12 Soccer Festival in Kijimadaira has started today.

Under the magnificent nature of Kijimadaira Village, Nagano Prefecture, students from FC Tokyo, Kawasaki Frontale, and Tochigi SC will gather for a tournament.

▽Bus conditions at departure▽

We received encouraging remarks from the mayor of Kijimadaira Village at the opening ceremony.

In a magnificent natural setting, unlike Tokyo, a refreshing breeze blows, and the children played to the best of their abilities.

After talking about the accommodation, there are many things we have to do ourselves, such as bathing, laundry, and meals.

For dinner, there were fried shrimp and teppanyaki, and many children enjoyed the meal and asked for seconds.

▽Meal Situation▽

Currently, the children are divided into teams and are having meetings in preparation for tomorrow.

Tomorrow there will be a tournament, plenty of activities including games with players from other clubs, BBQ, and more!!

I hope to make tomorrow a fulfilling day as well.
