Germany Beach Soccer National Team arrive in Japan on Thursday 13 April to participate in the two-day event between Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 at the Nishihara Kirakira Beach in Okinawa where they are scheduled to play a pair of international friendly matches against Japan.

Arriving at Naha Airport, Okinawa Prefecture and Okinawa Football Association held a welcome ceremony for the players and staff of the Germany National Team.

Coach’s and Players’ Comments

Sebastian Ullrich, Coach
Looking at the video footage of Japan National Team from the World Cup Qualifiers (AFC Championship), I get an impression that they have made significant progress on their team in recent months. Above all, their quality of finishing looked superb. We will be facing formidable opponents, but we have been preparing ourselves by going through a pair of training camps as well. Furthermore, we invited two new members to improve the team. I expect us to have excellent matches against Japan over the weekend.

FP #7 Christian Biermann
Our national team have been training for the last two months and working hard to improve the team. We haven’t played against Japan in the past, and thus we are not fully aware of the specifics of their game style, but I’ve been informed that they are a potent team qualified for coming World Cup. On their squad, Moriera Ozu stands out being one of the top players in the world. I am looking forward to the upcoming matches.

FP #9 Sascha Weirauch
We are in excellent form for the Japan Tour. Germany National Team have a good balance between offence and defence. Being one of the top 10 teams in the world, Japan are formidable opponents, but we will try to display our strengths and win the coming matches.
