[U-18] Abu Dhabi Expedition Final Day

Today is the final day of the Abu Dhabi expedition.

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

Next, when Coach Migita gives the start signal, the players will dash to the flag that serves as a landmark!

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






Today's lunch will be provided by JICE, and we will enjoy authentic Arab cuisine at a local restaurant.
Among the players who were hesitant to try the unique flavors and aromas, players such as Tanimura, Nishiyama, Sakurai, and Takahashi Anri were eating heartily at the table.


I went sightseeing in the afternoon.
This is considered the 6th largest mosque in the world!
Players are amazed by the scale of the size beyond imagination.


The appearance of being delighted after buying souvenirs at the shopping mall.


Ren INOUE from JICE, who has been involved in this expedition from the preparation stage to on-site support, stayed in Abu Dhabi, so we greeted him at the airport.

Arriving at Narita, Mr. Ishiura and Mr. Koji from JICE will say goodbye here.
We presented a uniform as a commemoration.


I was able to successfully complete the Abu Dhabi expedition with this.
We are truly grateful to the officials who have given players such opportunities for growth, as well as to everyone at JICE who has worked hard on site.


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