A letter from the president of the Japanese Football Association, Tashimi Kozo, has arrived at the address of the Ukrainian Beach Soccer Association, inviting the Ukrainian beach soccer team to participate in friendly matches against the Japanese national team. It is worth noting that this team currently holds fourth place in the BSWW world ranking (Ukraine — 17th).

According to the previous plan, Ukrainians will arrive in Tokyo on September 27 and will train in the Japanese capital for two days. On September 30, our team will work at the training center of the Japanese Football Association in Akashi City. There, on October 1st and 2nd, two friendly matches between the national teams of Japan and Ukraine will take place.

We remind you that the Ukrainian beach soccer team recently secured third place in the European qualifier for the 2023 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup on Bali, thereby securing a spot at this prestigious tournament.

Currently, Mikhail Kostenko's wards are in Cagliari, Italy, where they will participate in the second stage of Euroleague-2022 from September 8 to 11. Tomorrow, our team will play against Azerbaijan (kickoff at 14:30 Kyiv time).
