And on this very day, the Japan Football Association (JFA) announced that it had renewed its long-term agreement with Spain on cooperation in multiple areas of the soccer business.
The Japanese Football Association (JFA) announced the renewal of the contract between the two sides on its official website. It is worth mentioning that Japan and Spain in the World Cup match, the two soccer organizations appeared in Qatar on the same day and completed the signing ceremony on the eve of the game.
In the official announcement, the Japan Football Association (JFA) mentioned that since January 2010, we have established a cooperative relationship.
