Comment of U-20 Japan Women's National Team's coach IKEDA Futoshi

The training camp and international friendly match against the U-20 Germany Women's National Team were scheduled with the aim to strengthen the team ahead of the World Cup, so it is unfortunate that we will have to cancel these events, but this is a decision made to prevent the escalation of mass infection of the virus. We will focus on doing what we can do under this circumstance and prepare ourselves ahead of the World Cup in August.
