Japanese teams are regarded as highly technical and well organized and it gives our young Australian players an opportunity to match their ability against the other powerhouse nation in the Asian Football Confederation. Young Australian teams start World Cup preparations as young as 13 years old now so this type of exposure to the Asian game is invaluable for a young players development. The cultural aspects of a Japan tour are not forgotten and you will get to experience the best of this region whilst on tour, from traditional Japanese shrines and temples to amazing shopping precincts in the heart of Tokyo and the fantastic Edo Wonderland & Tokyo Disney Land theme park where you will enjoy a full day pass.
