JUFA, Japan University Football Association, chooses Sport Events Society for a ten-day internship in Italy at the beginning of August 2018.

The National Japanese University team, current champion, embarked on a tour that included visits to many cities from the North to the South of Italy. For the first days Novarello Villaggio Azzurro was chosen as the headquarters for the group's practices, consisting of twenty players plus a large and professional staff following.

The university team, well prepared, had the opportunity to play against the first teams of U.S. Cremonese (Serie B), F.C. Sudtirol (Lega Pro) and with the Primavera teams of Napoli and Perugia. The matches were, despite the difference in age and category, very tight and the Japanese team won 3-2 against Cremonese, dtied 3-3 with Sud Tirol and won against the Primavera teams of Perugia and Napoli.

The group, in one of the rare moments without training and playing, watched the Coppa Italia match between Cremonese and Pisa.

The JUFA has opted for a warm period like August to be able to recreate the conditions that will see the team committed to the 2019 Universiade scheduled in July, right in Naples.

The sports tour therefore saw the group spend the ten days between Novara, Cremona, Bolzano, Perugia and Napoli, in a demanding experience but full of satisfaction for the boys and the staff.
