Coach 's Comment

Pipob ON-MO, Head Coach
We are happy for the training facilities. Food was fantastic and Pitch condition is top quality matching to our playing style. All the J-GREEN staff were really helpful and took care of us so that the team trained as planned. Aside from football, J-GREEN also trains the players to be more responsible. I believe that JFA not only produce quality players but also quality people.

Staff's Comment

Naphat THAMMANITNIYOM, Team Manager
The J-GREEN Sakai Dream Camp is a really good football complex with all the facilities that are wonderful, especially the pitch condition which is all flat and smooth and as a result, we had good training sessions. The welcome was great with hospitality and a friendly environment. The food was great as well. All players and staff enjoyed Japanese food which we were delighted to have them every day at J-GREEN. Thank you for the great hospitality.

Players' Comment

Pacharapol LEKKUN
The pitch was good even though we played in the artificial field, it was still high quality. It was not so much different from a natural grass pitch. The food was tasty and we loved it. The camp was far away from the city which made us focus only on football and avoided any distractions. I hope we can come back again.
