The oldest VCF Soccer Academy
In Japan, the VCF Academy has the oldest VCF Soccer Academy of all, which has been active for more than a decade and was the seed of the project that currently has several Academies in different parts of America, Asia and Europe. After a few years of obligatory stoppage due to COVID, last year the academy resumed its activity with more strength.

"Every day in Japan we are fighting for this shield and I would like them to know that in Valencia," explained Yoshio Nakatani, director of the VCF Soccer Academy in Japan on the occasion of his presence at the II VCF Academy World Cup. "The bat always flies and I'm going to keep flying with the kids," he told VCF Media.
