We performed well over the two days, but unfortunately finished in 2nd place due to goal difference.
The travel to and from the venue involved long hours due to traffic jams, but we made good use of the time by watching soccer videos and other activities.
Regarding meals, there were instances where some players didn't eat enough or couldn't eat foods they disliked, so I hope they will continue to make an effort and grow every day.
A total of 8 J-League clubs participated in this festival.
We are grateful to the tournament organizers and parents for providing us with this opportunity.
It was a very valuable experience for the players. We hope they will continue to grow not only on the pitch but also off it, and we look forward to their future success.
