Hokuriku Expressway:

On the night of January 9, the bus on which the players of the women’s futsal team Fukui Maruoka RUCK got caught up in a large-scale stalling on the Hokuriku Expressway down line in Fukui Prefecture returning from the match venue. With no prospect of the resolution, I’m hungry with sweets. The player injured in the match complained of pain. On the 10th, the morning came in the car and “when can I go home?” She talked about her anxiety.

The chartered bus with 12 players and coaches left the venue in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, where the Japan Women’s League (Women’s F League) match was held, around 3:00 pm on the 9th.

The player said, “It was a relief to be able to move my body because there was plenty of space in the car.” Another player said, “We have friends, but we can’t stand alone.” Many of the team are teenagers and college students who have just graduated from high school. He frequently kept in touch with parents waiting at home and the director accompanying the U15 (under 15) team’s expedition.
