Adjusted to hold the National High School Soccer Championship To be officially decided in October 17:50 on August 27
Regarding the national high school soccer championship this year, which had been attracting attention as to whether or not it was held due to the influence of the new coronavirus, it is related to the fact that the Japan Football Association and the National High School Sports Federation Soccer Specialization Department are making adjustments in the direction of holding it. I understood from the interview with the person.
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, various national high school sports such as summer national high school baseball and national high school overall were canceled one after another.
There was a lot of attention on whether or not the National High School Soccer Championship will be held every winter, but according to the people involved, the Japan Soccer Association and the National High School Sports Federation's soccer specialization team will take thorough measures to prevent infection, It means that we are making adjustments in the direction of holding the event.
In the future, we will officially decide whether to hold the tournament in October after considering how many spectators will be included, the opening ceremony and the opening game.
