Seiritsu Soccer Club Qualify for Inter High!
Seiritsu's boys soccer club has qualified for the national Inter High sports championships for the second time running, beating Kokushikan High School 1-0 in a thrilling Tokyo city semi final, held on June 22.
The Inter High championships is one of the most prestigious events in Japan's high school sporting calendar, where various sporting disciplines are represented by each prefecture's top high school representatives. It can be thought of as a sort of mini-olympics.
Although Seiritsu lost to Komazawa Daigaku High School 2-1 in the Tokyo city final the following day, we can look forward to competing with Japan's best next month.
This year the ten-day-long event will be held in Yamanashi prefecture from August 2nd, where Seiritsu's first opponents will be Yamaguchi prefecture's Takagawa Gakuen.
Ganbaro! Good luck!
