This year's Friendly Cup was an all action affair with some truly entertaining matches, a miraculous comeback, hordes of goals and a nail-biting penalty shoot out. With Team Adecco not in attendance it came down to each Friendly Cup team captain to nominate their Most Valuable Player of the Tournament (not of their own team). Gathering the opinions it was a widespread show of appreciation and team Keidanren had two nominations... but was it the same player? With only a shirt number and the observation of orange shoes to go on, even the Keidanren team captain was unsure of the votes --- but with the aid of the Keidanren's Koh Nakajima both the number and the shoes belonged to this year's Adecco BEFC Friendly Cup MVP winner Nobuyuki Ariyoshi!!!

Check out how high Nobu flies on his penalty kick --- is there something about the orange shoes?

Thanks to all the teams and supporters who joined us this year for the Friendly Cup! Another great and extremely fun competition.
