Vietnam Futsal National Team arrive in Japan for International Friendly Tournament
21 April 2016
The Vietnam Futsal National Team, who will compete in an International Friendly Tournament in Kariya, Aichi Prefecture, landed at the Chubu international airport on 20 April.
After a nine-hour direct flight from Hanoi, the team arrived in Aichi Prefecture. Perhaps due to the long trip, their players and staff looked a bit tired, but following lunch, they quickly got to practice in the evening.
The team will have an official practice at WING ARENA KARIYA, which will be the site for the tournament, on the 21st. Vietnam will take on Japan on the 22nd and Uzbekistan on the 23rd.
Coach and Players' Comments
Bruno GARCIA, Coach
This is our second trip to Japan as the Vietnam Futsal National Team. As we felt last time out, Japan's environments and their hospitality are great. We have called up six young players this time. For our players, it's a great opportunity to play a top Asian team and hopefully they will take advantage of it leading up to this year's World Cup. We would like express our appreciation for the Japan Football Association, who did the match-making, and all the people who support us.

This is my seventh trip to Japan. The Japanese are so disciplined and they always welcome warmly, so I have a great impression about them. We have the World Cup coming up in September, so hopefully we will wrap up the two games we play here in better fashion and be a team who can post some wins in the World Cup.
