On 12 September, Tahiti Beach Soccer National Team arrived in Narita Airport, Japan for the International Friendly which will be held in Akashi Okura Beach (Akashi City, Hyogo). They looked tired from their long flight, but they continued their journey to Osaka in a positive mood. 

The team will have an official training session in the main ground of the Akashi Okura Beach to get ready for the International Friendly against Japan Beach Soccer National Team on 17 and 18 September. 

Player-Coach's Comments

Daniel Teva ZAVERONI, Player-Coach (Tahiti Beach Soccer National Team)
First of all, I’d like to express my gratitude to the Japan Football Association for inviting us and giving us this wonderful opportunity. As a preparation for the World Cup next year, we had been looking for suitable teams to play practice matches. We are very happy that we could play against Japan who have speed, technique, and power. We are tired now due to the long journey, but we will prepare ourselves very well to play in the best condition for the matches.

Captain's Comment

Naea BENNETT, Captain (Tahiti Beach Soccer National Team)
We are very happy to be invited to play in Japan. We have brought not only veteran players but also many young players to strengthen the team for the World Cup next year. I am excited to see how much these young players, who will be the key of our future, will blend in to our current team.
