Today, we would like to announce that Yuto NAGATOMO from our club has been selected for the SAMURAI BLUE (Japan national team) members participating in the 'FIFA World Cup 26 Asian Final Qualifiers (3rd Round)' to be held in November 2024, as announced by the Japan Football Association (JFA).

□Yuto NAGATOMO Comment
"I am very honored to continue being selected for the national team.
The final qualifiers will continue to be a tough battle, so I believe we need to focus on the upcoming matches and think only about winning from our training. Being selected is not the end; we will do our best to contribute to victory on the pitch.

First, we will put forth good energy in training to ensure victory in the match against FC Machida Zelvia this weekend. I hope to gain the positive energy of "victory" from the Machida match and carry it into the national team activities. Let's unite as a club and fans/supporters to achieve victory over Machida.
Thank you for your support
