　The Mitsubishi F.C. of Tokyo which won the Japanese League　championship recently is planning a Central and　South American tour for some friendly matches in Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. They will leave Tokyo on January 20th and return at the begining of March. It is the first time that a Japanese club team makes a football tour outside of Asia.

　Expansion of the League
　Japan Soccer League is now studying the possibilities to add two more　clubs　to　its organisation. It has been managed by eight clubs in the past five years. It is　expected to get the final　decision the next　April and，if it is decide, the league will consist of ten clubs from the season in 1971.

　A jubilee of Japanese F.A.
　Japan Football Association has organized a new committee to prepare the celebration of its jubilee. Japanese F.A. was founded in 1921 and will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary on September 10th this year. The new committee is planning to invite　Eusebio's club, Benfica Lisbon, and　other　Asian national teams for the games of the celebration

　Preparation for Munich　
　The eyes of　the　world　footballers　are turning toward Mexico, the host　country of the World Cup 1970， this year， but　the Japanese are looking for the way to Munich where the XXth　Olympic Games　will be held in 1972. Immediately after the disqualification at the Seoul tournament for the World Cup, the　coaching staffs of　the national team　decided the plan　of　there construction under the chairmanship of Mr. Ken Naganuma, who was the manager　of the Olympic　team in Mexico　1968, where the Japanese won the bronze medals.
　The plan consists　of　three　points. The first point is to build up a new　national team for Munich Olympics. As the steps to Munich, they　will compete in the Merdeka tournament in Malaysia and the sixth Asian Games in Bangkok　this year. Japan has not　yet won any　Asian　title of football and so they want to get the titles this time playing　with its strongest “A”team.
　The second point is to find the talented young players for the national team. Two kinds of junior team will be formed ?this year.　One is composed of　the player of the　League　clubs　and　the　other　of　the students of the university teams. In Japan，more than　half　of　the　young　footballers belong to the university clubs.　Matches of these two　junior teams asn the　national team shall take　place　for the　sake　of convenience　to　find　the　young　talents. Then　a　national　junior　team　shall　be formed and make a tour to Europe next summer.
　The third point is to train　the　young players.　Japan　Football　Association has appointed Mr. Teruyuki Matsuda to take charge of the youth team and is going to engage in a contract with him as a Association’s coach. Mr.Matsuda had　been an unknown high school teacher in Hiroshima until the last summer when FIFA coaching school was held in Kemigawa near Tokyo. He participated in the　school　and　was found by Mr. Dettmar Cramer, the FIFA instructor.
