At the FC Tokyo Soccer and Futsal School, 8 selected students will participate in Europoussins 2025 held in France, continuing from last year!

We gathered at Haneda Airport on the night of June 3 (Tue) and arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport after about a 14-hour flight.

It took a little time to receive the luggage, but we successfully met up with Coco, who will be taking care of us during the tournament!
After that, we had breakfast with bread and sandwiches, then headed to see the Eiffel Tower by a French private railway!

At the Eiffel Tower, the children were first overwhelmed by the view from below.
This time, we took the elevator to the 2nd and 3rd floors and all enjoyed the spectacular view overlooking the streets of Paris!
On the way down, we slowly descended the stairs from the second floor while enjoying the view.

After enjoying the Eiffel Tower, we took a private railway back to Montparnasse Station, and from there boarded the French high-speed train TGV to arrive at Rennes Station.

At the station, I met a local Japanese resident who kindly said, "Enjoy your trip and football."
Even outside Rennes Station, while traveling or sightseeing, the children received warm smiles and were warmly welcomed by the locals with comments like "Are you from Tokyo? That's wonderful!"

From Rennes Station, local people kindly gave us a ride by car to the event area and accommodation.

After placing our luggage in the room and deciding where each person would sleep, we visited Koko's house and played in the garden.
For dinner, we prepared bacon quiche, salad, lasagna, and yogurt, and everyone enjoyed it deliciously!

After dinner, we returned to the lodging and reflected on the day's impressions and our actions.

The first day involved a long flight, sightseeing, and many train rides, and although there were signs of fatigue in between, the day ended safely without any major accidents or injuries.

Tomorrow, we plan to tour historic towns such as Dinan and Saint-Malo!
