FC Echigo-Tsumari marks five years since its founding - with the appointment of a new Senior Director and a new GM & Head Coach, the club enters its second chapter.
On 24 April, the 2021 kick-off event for FC Echigo-Tsumari, a female football team born out of the Echigo‑Tsumari Art Triennale (ETAT), was held. Five years have passed since the team’s establishment. Last year, FC Echigo-Tsumari won the Niigata Prefectural League, and this spring welcomed a new Senior Director and a new GM & Head Coach. Six new players have also joined, bringing the squad to twelve members. As the team embarks on its second phase, we spoke with Senior Director Sakaguchi Hiroaki, GM & Head Coach Motoi Atsushi, and players Ishiwata Misato and Mori Kisa.
