Ahead of the KIRIN CHALLENGE CUP 2019 match against the SAMURAI BLUE (Japan National Team), scheduled on Wednesday 5 June at Toyota Stadium, Aichi, the Trinidad and Tobago National Team arrived in Japan on Sunday 2 June.

The players showed signs of fatigue after the long flight, but also seemed relaxed, as they shared laughter with one another and listened to their own music. On their bus ride to the hotel, the players enthusiastically cheered on as they came across the Nagoya Castle, showing their jolly nature.

The KIRIN CHALLENGE CUP 2019 match between the SAMURAI BLUE (Japan National Team) and the Trinidad and Tobago National Team will take place at Toyota Stadium with the kick-off time of 19:30 on Wednesday 5 June.

Coach and Player's Comments

Dennis LAWRENCE, Coach
First of all, I am grateful to be given such wonderful opportunity. I know this is a very important match for Japan, but with the Gold Cup scheduled ahead of us, it will serve as a crucial match for us as well. The Japanese team consists with many players with great individual techniques and they are a fantastic team. In order to showcase a wonderful match against the Japan National Team, I need my players to play tough. Starting from tomorrow, we hope to put in a good training session so that we can get ourselves ready for the match on the 5th.

Khaleem HYLAND
It was a long flight, so I am feeling very tired, but I would like to thank the JFA and all the staffs for preparing us with a wonderful environment and warm hospitality. In order to heighten the team quality ahead of the match against Japan, we will take a good rest today and prepare our conditions so that we can conduct quality training sessions from tomorrow.
