RACHATA THUNPEPCH, Assistant Coach
I'm grateful for the support from the staff members of the Japan Football Association, J-GREEN Sakai and DREAM CAMP. The main purpose of both going through the training camp and participating in the tournament was to get ready for the AFC U-16 Women's Championship to be held in September at home. Furthermore, I wanted my players and staff to learn Japanese hospitality, discipline and courtesy. We learned a lot from the training and the practice matches we had during our stay in Japan, and those turned out to be an invaluable experience. It was a tight schedule during the J-GREEN SAKAI Lady’s Festival U-15, and that was also an excellent experience. We were able to understand the issues we have as a team, so we will work on them in future training.

AMORNRAT JOMPA, Coach
The opponents were formidable teams with quickness and excellent technical skills. We learned and experienced quite a lot during this camp. The training environment was great, and we were able to spend a fruitful time here. They offered a wide variety of food choices at the lodging as well. Everything was quite delicious.

I'm thankful for the warm hospitality of the Japan Football Association and J-GREEN Sakai. Thanks to the J-GREEN Sakai's support, we were able to focus on football. I feel we gained a special experience in this camp. I sincerely hope we have another camp in Japan.
