With the cooperation of the Bhutan Football Federation, we held soccer clinics for about 30 to 50 people at six locations, including elementary schools and club teams in Thimphu, Punakha, Paro, and Phuentsholing in Bhutan.
At the soccer clinic, we conveyed the joy of soccer and deepened cultural exchanges between Japan and Bhutan through soccer.
After the national sport archery in Bhutan, soccer is a very popular sport and many people are interested in it.
The aim was to raise the level of Bhutanese soccer skills by instructing players who are engaged in soccer club teams and sports schools to expand the base by communicating the joy of soccer to elementary school students and university students who are aiming to become teachers in the future.
The cooperation between the Bhutan Football Federation and the cooperation of the Bhutan Football Federation has greatly deepened exchanges between Japan and Bhutan.
