We are proud to share with our alumni community
that FIFA Master alumnus from the 13th edition
and football legend, Tsuneyasu Miyamoto,
has become President of the Japan Football
Association.
Tsune, as he's called by his classmates,
is a former football player, coach and, lately
was serving as the JFA's General Secretary.
As a player, he played for Gamba Osaka, Red
Bull Salzburg and Vissel Kobe.
Among many accolades, he played
in two FIFA
World Cups and was also the team
captain
in 2002, when the tournament
was hosted in
Japan and South Korea, as well
as in Germany,
in 2006.
See below, Tsune Miyamoto's message, in which
he mentions the FIFA Master, posted by the
JFA:
Message from the President
I am extremely honoured to have been appointed
the 15th President of Japan Football Association
(JFA), a position of great responsibility.
I have been involved in football in various
capacities all my life: as a player, a FIFA
Master student, a youth coach, a Head Coach
at a J.League Club, in the media and as General
Secretary of JFA. Throughout my career, I
have always been driven by a strong desire
to increase the presence of football in our
country.
It has been more than 100 years since JFA
was founded and more than 30 years since
a professional football league was established
in Japan. It is through the tireless efforts
of so many people, on and off the pitch along
the way, that have brought Japanese football
to what it is today ? a journey of growth
that we can all be proud of, even by world
standards. Stadiums have been built across
the country, J.League and WE League matches
are played on weekends, and it has become
a common sight to see the whole country cheering
on the performance of SAMURAI BLUE (Japan
National Team) and Nadeshiko Japan (Japan
Women’s National Team).
On the other hand, in order to fulfil our
pledge in “The JFA Declaration, 2005”,
which states that “By 2050, we will host
the FIFA World Cup? in Japan, and the Japan
National Team will be the Champion,” we
must take further steps to elevate our game
to the next level. While inheriting the wide
array of legacies built by our predecessors,
we must also take an innovative approach
that is fit for the present.
There are many things I would like to work
on. Through close dialogue and discussions
with you all, I will explore the best way
forward one by one, in order to increase
the presence of Japanese football both at
home and abroad. Let's work together to start
a new chapter for Japanese football.

15th President of JFA

[プレビュー]倉田・遠藤が語るJ1第6節 vs
広島 ― 広島相手に問われるガンバの真価。粘り強くリーグ屈指の堅守をこじ開ける
G大阪宮本監督「逃げるな」指令、守備立て直し図る

ガンバ大阪の宮本恒靖監督(42)から「逃げるな」指令が出た。4日は、アウェー広島戦(6日)に向けて非公開練習。前節神戸戦で4失点したチームは、5試合を終えてJ1ワースト2位の計12失点を喫している。
今週は守備の立て直しを図っており、MF倉田は、元日本代表DFの指揮官から「ゴール前で逃げない、(シュートに対して)体を当てにいくところを強調されている」と話した。
今季、ここまでの公式戦7試合で無失点だったのは3月17日のJ1川崎F戦(1−0)のみ。神戸戦では3得点をあげ、2度リードしたが、守りきれずに3−4で逆転負けを喫した。
ボランチを務める倉田は「1対1や、球際(の厳しさ)。川崎F戦ではできていたけど、(神戸戦では)できていなかった。気持ちを出していかないといけない」。自身も試合を振り返った際に「(ボールに)背中を向けているところがあった」と反省した。
カギを握る中盤。公式戦のここ3試合は、MF倉田と20歳のMF高がボランチを形成している。J1では2試合連続で、相手チームも合わせて最多の走行距離を記録している背番号10。その倉田は「運動量と声を出すことが必要」とし「サイドハーフの時より全然しんどくない」と平然と言ってのけた。
攻守において中盤が支配し、次節は、2試合ぶりの勝利を目指す。
