The players packed their belongings from early morning and cleaned their rooms at the lodging facility where we were so well taken care of.
We left the facility at 6 AM and headed to Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Since it was an early morning departure, the facility kindly provided us with bread and bananas. We arrived at the airport around 8:30 AM and completed the boarding procedures.
We presented a signed uniform to our interpreter, who accompanied the players and staff for the entire 9-day expedition, supporting us during our stay and fighting alongside us during the matches. Player Ogura gave a thank-you speech on behalf of the players, and then we took a commemorative photo.
We then proceeded to the boarding gate, seen off by our interpreter.
Before departure, the players bought souvenirs for their families and friends, and then departed for Japan on their scheduled flight at 1:05 PM.
Upon safely arriving at Narita Airport, Director Morishima gave a summary of the expedition, and then we moved to the arrival lobby where families were waiting.
After Player Ogura gave a greeting to the welcoming families upon our return, the team disbanded.
With the conclusion of this expedition, the Academy Tre-Sen U14 China Expedition members will disband and rejoin their respective Junior Youth Kashima, Norte, and Tsukuba activities.
