We would like to announce that our club's Taichi HARA and Rei HIRAKAWA have been selected as members of the U-19 Japan national team for their Mexico expedition (9/2-13 @ Mexico City).

□Comment from Taichi Hara
I am happy to be selected for the U-19 Japan national team this time. This year, the AFC U-19 Championship, which serves as the qualifying tournament for the U-20 World Cup, will be held, so I want to show my strengths and be chosen as a member of that team. It is also a great opportunity to compete against overseas players, so I will do my best to contribute to my own growth!

□Rei HIRAKAWA Player Comment

"I am honored to have been chosen for the U-19 Japan national team. I believe that being continuously selected for the national team is extremely important, so I will do my best to demonstrate my full potential during this expedition. Additionally, I expect there to be competition within the team as we prepare for the AFC U-19 Championship, but I hope to express my value as a player."
