This morning started with a slightly leisurely breakfast to recover from the fatigue of the trip.

During last year's expedition to South Korea, two players fell ill on the first day, but this time everyone was full of energy. The players enjoyed the buffet-style breakfast, finding the taste easy to eat and feeling reassured. There were many occasions when foreigners spoke to them, and it was impressive to see them trying various ways to communicate despite the language barrier.

After breakfast, we went on a short sightseeing walk.
At this time of year, Chiang Mai has a comfortable climate with temperatures around 26°C, making short sleeves and shorts perfectly suitable. The weather was also good, and while experiencing Thai culture that they don't usually encounter, they seemed to thoroughly enjoy the sightseeing throughout.

After lunch, we set off for training!
The field where the tournament will also be held is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Today, we conducted about 90 minutes of training on that field.

The players are about to face their first official overseas match. They started training reaffirming their determination to win in Thailand.

The weather was not hotter than the temperature suggested, and it seemed they were playing comfortably. In the evening, a coach and one player participated in the reception.

Teams from various countries such as Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Laos are participating. The tournament will start tomorrow. We look forward to seeing the players grow with each match.

We ask for your support from Japan as well.
