A Message from Ambassador Mr. Kitazawa

The “TOKYO U-14 INTERNATIONAL YOUTH FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT” is an important event that allows players to grow. All teams gather at J-VILLAGE, where the event is held. Through international matches, participants can develop global perspectives while experiencing different kinds of footballs from their everyday lives.

Furthermore, through international exchange, youth players can acquire universal communication skills. When each of you does your best, families, supporters, and people in your countries and regions will be happy to watch you play football. Play for yourself, of course, but also have an altruistic spirit of “for someone else,” and do your best to play football respectfully.

I believe that having experiences that are necessary and important for your age now will enrich your minds and contribute significantly to your growth in the future. I support you all. Good luck!
