I would like to express my gratitude to the JFA for arranging our visit. After receiving various lectures on futsal, we have gained ideas to solve our problems we are currently facing. Visiting Japan is only a beginning. We have to now work on the issues at hand and hopefully catch up with Japan’s futsal soon.

From the lectures, I clearly understood what we can and cannot apply to our current system. We are looking to take various measures to promote the development of futsal. Lastly, I would like to thank the JFA, the futsal club teams, and the F.League for their warm hospitality.
