11 May 2025 | Friendly Matches & Mizuno Experience, Tokyo

Day 4 began earlier than planned — a smooth journey to Minami-Tsurumaki Elementary School meant we arrived ahead of schedule and jumped straight into action. With cool weather and a slightly dewy field, the boys were ready to face new challenges on familiar turf.

Game On: A Test of Grit

We played three (20-minute halves) matches organised by Tsurumaki Soccer Club, facing off against:
• Tsurumaki SC
• FC Toripletta Shibuya

While Day 3 felt festive, Day 4 was all about intensity.
The warm-up from Toripletta Shibuya alone was enough to make jaws drop — hundreds, if not thousands, of touches in a rhythm of juggling, walking, dribbling and passing with flair. An elite team in every sense.

Despite the fatigue, our boys gave a spirited performance — learning to adjust in real time, build up from the back, and handle pressure under tighter marking. These were lessons in composure, adaptability, and mental strength.

Moments of Unity

Back at the school, the day ended with yet another round of souvenir exchanges.
FC Toripletta Shibuya presented us with their official club flag, and in return, our captains proudly handed over the Fiezta FC flag pendants — a ritual now close to our hearts.

Smiles, photos, and high fives closed out the football segment of Day 4 — a day that reminded us why we’re here: to grow, to compete, and to build friendships far beyond the final whistle.

From the Pitch to Precision: Mizuno Experience

Later in the day, we made our way to the Mizuno Tokyo Flagship Store — a dream pit stop for any young footballer.

At Mizuno, the boys went through a Foot Navi digital foot analysis — a high-tech system that measured balance, weight distribution, arch height, and size with pinpoint accuracy. For many, it was their first time understanding how the right boot can enhance performance and reduce injury risk.

Equipped with custom insights, each player was matched to the right footwear model and size. We left not just with shopping bags — but with knowledge, excitement, and a newfound appreciation for fit and form.

Day 4 in Three Words:

Challenge. Calibration. Camaraderie.
