Cyprus National Team arrived in Japan on Friday 23 May for the KIRIN CHALLENGE CUP 2014, a game scheduled on Tuesday 27 May at Saitama Stadium 2002, Saitama.
Almost all the players and staff flew to Japan for the first time and looks excited but taking a rest for refreshing themselves in Saitama after taking a long flight to Japan.
