Chinese Football Association Comments

Li Yizhou, Project Manager
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 the problems we are currently facing. Visiting Japan is only the beginning. We have to now work on the issues at hand and hopefully catch up with Japan’s futsal soon.

Yue Cao, Project Manager
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.
