9 May 2025 | Inagi Nagamine Verdy Field, Tokyo

Day 2 of our Japan journey brought the Fiezta FC squad into the heart of Tokyo grassroots football — a day filled with football, learning, and lasting connections.

After a punctual train ride to Wakabadai Station, the team made their way to Inagi Nagamine Verdy Field, a top-class artificial turf facility surrounded by nature and calmness — perfect for focused training.

We were warmly welcomed by Mr. Tomoharu Ishigami, Chairman of Tokyo Youth Soccer Federation and President of Tsurumaki Soccer Club. His hospitality and meticulous coordination were the true reasons this exchange became a reality for us. From training prep to smooth scheduling, he made sure every detail was taken care of — we’re sincerely grateful.

To top it off, the organizers also ensured that we were well hydrated with a full cooler of cold water bottles — a small gesture that made a big difference, especially with the energy used on the pitch.

The session was held in collaboration with:
• Progresso Inagi
• Tsurumaki Soccer Club

Guided by experienced coaches:
• Mr. Kusano (Technical Director, Tokyo 11th Block)
• Mr. Honma (Goalkeeper Coach, Tokyo 11th Block)

Session Highlights:
