Since captain Viran broke his toe in November against Shane, the Lions had recorded their first win against King George and were frustrated to draw their last game of the year against Vagabonds. The first game of the year was an opportunity for the team to extend their unbeaten streak, which could...
BEFC began 2018 with a blast by taking apart current division 2 leaders SUNS FC in the FJC Cup 2nd round. After last years final match BEFC sought to build on their second half performance, focusing on dictating the pace of the game by increasing their movement and passing tempo. With SUNS FC...
Lions closed their first calendar year as a team by playing their second leg game against Vagabonds. Frustrated from what they felt was an unlucky defeat during their first game. This motivated a relatively untested new lineup of Lions players to aim for a victory, but unfortunately luck would not...
In a game that was described in many ways: epic, legendary, glorious, and so on, it was indeed a night to remember and a great way to earn the Lions’ first 3 points! An epic comeback from being 4-1 down to winning 6-4 in the last 30 minutes made the Lions not only deserved winners, but also team of...
After a cruel defeat to Panthers the week before BEFC went into the last match before the holiday break with renewed vigour to get a result. However it was not to be when similarly to the previous game they conceded an early goal during transition. Still adapting to Division 1 Football BEFC...
Following what felt like an undeserved defeat to Shane FC, Lions were left to reflect on their mistakes and where they could work to improve. Despite the goals, however, it was agreed that if one position had been kept solid throughout the game, it was that in which they had struggled the most in...
BEFC expected their return match against last season's number 3 team Panthers to be an intense one. At the start of the current season they witnessed a hammering at BEFC's hand, and with Panther's known for being very different depending on who they get to show up, BEFC expected them to bring out...
Recently BEFC have started a good relationship with J-League Division 2 Champions Shonan Bellmare who are following a vision of becoming a fully internationalised club. We were invited down to their International Day but it clashed with our league matches and then a typhoon which prevented us from...
On November 9th, BEFC were fortunate to be invited to an audience with Frank Lampard at the UK Embassy in Tokyo. We attempted to sign Frank and while that wasn't possible, Frank kindly signed a BEFC Number 8 shirt for us. We hope that we can use this exclusive BEFC Frank Lampard shirt to raise...
BEFC combined the forces of Embassy FC, Lions and Ladies, (perhaps like the Power Rangers) forming the mighty BEFC Utd to take on Tokyo Banana on a cold waterlogged November morning. The wet conditions didn't lend itself to free flowing football but this didn't stop BEFC Utd turning early pressure...
BEFC got back to winning ways with a dominant display against familiar foe and D2 runner up Zion FC. Carrying over a similar line up from their previous victory BEFC got to show their groove and mark the difference between division 1 and division 2 competition. This was an important match to prove...
BEFC Lions went onto their cup debut knowing that this was a chance to test new players, a new formation and have a game to tinker around with problems (a chance they had not really had since the start of the season). The door was opened for people who were keen to join or start playing to get some...
Being part of a new team, and one with highly competitive personalities during a day-long tournment can be challenging, but playing (well!), smiling and showing what a team is all about is something that makes players stand-out. During the MIFA mixed tournament, the BEFC Red team played with a...
Organizing the signup to the first ever mixed tournament appearance for all of BEFC, Ladies VC Namiho Takeda showed the leadership and strong play for which she is admired by her peers in the club, making her the BEFC Pups Team MVP. Playing with the BEFC team that was looking for a fun and balanced...
