Instructors' Comment

Ali Targholizade
I'm really pleased F.League clubs gather from all over Japan and we hold workshops with us instructors, such F.League clubs and the JFA. I feel through the workshops that participants are experienced and have a high level of skills. For the professionalism of futsal, this workshop is going to be an important process in the development of futsal in Japan and other Asian countries. I hope we Asian countries unite and have futsal activities that can support its fate of the next 10 years.

I joined discussion about futsal with people who are leading world's futsal and learned a lot of things from them. As a team and as a league, we got a big asset for our future. We need to work hard to become the leaders of the world.

The circumstances of futsal can be different among countries, but it was productive to see situations in Spain and Russia. I found a lot of things that can be applied to the F.League. In terms of license, I hope we can keep looking at the compatibility with the standard of the F.League and it was great to discuss such things.
