- Day 1 and 2 -

On March 24th (Sun), everyone gathered at Narita Airport and departed, via Abu Dhabi International Airport, and arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport on the morning of the second day! The total travel time was over 20 hours, but we arrived safely!

After arrival, we toured the city of Paris during the day. We took commemorative photos in front of the iconic French building, the Arc de Triomphe, located in the Place Charles de Gaulle. Despite being overwhelmed by its grandeur, we took a group photo with all the players!

And, at lunch, we enjoyed authentic French cuisine!
Players had various reactions to authentic French cuisine.

The Seine River Cruise took the same route as the water route used during the athlete's entrance at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony. And with the Eiffel Tower, a symbol of Paris, peeking out, the athletes were thrilled. They took a commemorative photo together. They also seemed to be enjoying themselves while looking at the different cityscape from Japan.

Entered the dormitory in the evening, then lightly sweated on the field and finished the second day after having dinner.

The players who were excited throughout their first overseas experience, some players were also tired from the long journey, so the players' conditions were varied. We want to recover properly and prepare for the training match on the third day. We will accumulate a lot of experience and make this fruitful trip to France a time for players to grow significantly.

Days 1 and 2 were a very educational time, where we were able to experience things we had never experienced before with all five senses.
