If you dredge the basic regulation, it is a male over 16 years old, assuming that it is not an active professional athlete, using an 8-minute half game with a futsal court, using ball 5 (lowbound ball). Nominal is an amateur five-soccer football, but it is an irregular football with a stronger futsal coloring thanks to a rule that does not have an offside, is kicking in without throwing in, and that forbids sliding tackle.

This is the third F5WC to be held this time, the girls 'ladies' cup is also held for the first time since this year, the competition is getting exciting year after year. Not only for boys in Japan, it is also a proof that the female futsal competition population is growing.

Athome Corporation, the crown sponsor of the event, also co-sponsored the University Fellowship Category and the National High School Football Championships, and is an enthusiastic company for youth sports support and social contribution activities.



KING GEAR Corresponding KING GEAR FC endlessly breakthrough the morning group league in all wins (the first game 1 - 0, the second game 4 - 2, the third game 2 - 1) and entered the afternoon's final tournament. He took the lead in all games and showed a stable match.


* Extracted from F5WC JAPAN. KING GEAR FC entered T 5 on the left side of the figure and played on D Court.

Here again we will demonstrate dignified play. Like the group league, Kitahara and Uresho players, from stable defense and build-ups, centering on the speed and height of Ace Kabe players to show the difference in the case.

In the final round of the tournament first round 2-0, the second round also got through with a 3-0 nonbroken spot, decided to advance to the top four in the battle "just as planned".

The activity of the trainer and medical team who accompanied me also glows. Between the games, careful stretching, treatment such as massage, actively taking nutritional supplements, and backing up so that the players can face each game in a perfect system and condition in one game. It was such a sight that the KING GEAR team went together to go together.



From the best 4 semi-finals, Mr. Maezonozaka, former football national footballer who is the ambassador of this event, appeared. I played the game commentary.



The opponent who greeted in semifinals was the team of the last championship title "TamaChan". It is the second place in the world championships last year, and it is also a powerful candidate for the first place in this tournament.

It was predicted from the beginning with a tough fight, but it will be the battle for retreat as expected. The number of times the referee plays a whistle also increases over time in a fierce physical contact battle where betting on the initiative or betting on nausea and pride. It takes an offensive to take each other's first points.



It was a glowing match that gripped hand sweat so that you could see at a glance that the level rose much more than the previous game. Especially, the strong physical and shooting power of opponent's player is a threat, and time to go to defense also increases. It is completely different from the previous games that could be preempted in the early stage, and the overall pass speed and deployment become faster.

But patiently, I continued to aim for opportunities at the counter. Kabe played a shot from the quick counter at the left corner of the goal with his right foot. I take away the first point of my desire from the work of Ace's lion's quick action. The additional points are decided, there is a game. I managed to win 2-0.

However, the fatigue of the players of KING GEAR FC peaked. In the evening, gradually the cold became severe, and decided to move to the room so as not to cool the body. Even though I concentrate on recovering from fatigue, some players have an accident that blows their legs. Next is finally the final game. Fortunately none of the major injuries resulted, but it is truly a critical moment.

The final partner is "DEL MIGLIORE CLOUD Gunma". He belongs to the Kanto Futsal League 2 division, also breaks through the group league in the whole victory and is a strong enemy who has advanced to the finals with dismissing the third place "FC.meLo" last year in the semi-finals.



Before the finals, after entrance of the players, 'national anthem singing' representing respect for the players was also carried out. One further wins. The one who won can go to the world. With a sense of tension and expectation more than ever, we will have a kickoff for the final.

KING GEAR FC, who took the lead in all games and won the dominant deployment. However, the final game will always follow up.

Although ball promotion will advance the game to the dominant position, it will push a break from the counter quickly. However, they caught up with 0 - 1, 1 - 1, 1 - 2, 2 - 2, and when they were released, they showed a phenomenal sticking to catch up and entered PK game.



PKStrong sense of tension wraps around. Make the first one to each other accurately, strongly hit the goal net. However, the 2nd block is blocked, and all 3 successfully made "DEL MIGLIORE CLOUD Gunma" will rise in rank.

KING GEAR FC missed the winning championship in one more step. Despite seriously frustrating results for all the players and the staff, I would like to praise the tenacity and courage that I did not give up on this great fight and the end.


Medals and souvenirs were presented to players from Mr. Miyako, who is at Home Company and Ambassador.

From the commentary Mr. Miyuko, there was also a mournful voice that "I wanted to see the extension game", but from the MC was supplemented with "the official rules of the world convention". Football does not have "Ikarasa". However, it became an event full of regret that I thought so. "It is regrettable." There was a desperation desperately.

The goal of going to the world by winning is not over yet. From the players who came back from the locker room after the game, such a reliable and powerful word was heard.

"What is next year?" The players' eyes are right for me. - Win everyone and go to the world. The adventure of KING GEAR FC continues.
