U-17 Japan Women’s National Team FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Costa Rica 2014 Report (1st April)
02 April 2014

It is 1st April today, one day after our semi-final win. It is a beautiful sunny day since morning.
We had conditioning recovery session in the morning, and left Liberia after lunch for San Jose, the site for our final match. It was a four-hour bus ride.
In our evening meeting, Head Coach Takakura kept the team’s sprit up for the final match by saying “It is only Spain and us and nobody else in the world that have this opportunity to be here. This is such a wonderful feat.” The final preparation for the final match will start tomorrow.
