BEFC Red was the team formed to challenge for the MIFA Cup, and this competitive spirit was clearly embodied by our Adecco Man of the Match Timothy Witvliet. Better known within BEFC for his power shots, Witvliet displayed his precision by scoring a hat trick in three different matches against...
The BEFC White Team was made of many players who are new to the club and were from both our men and women's teams, not having played much together in the past. Despite this, the team was quite competitive in all matches thanks to our goalie and MVP, Masaaki. Thanks to his committed and reliable...
BEFC Lions headed out to YCAC last weekend knowing a it was a tough match ahead against one of the top teams in Div 3, Sagarmatha. With an end-result that does not reflect the flow of the game, Lions suffered from set-pieces as a new team getting used to defending them does. Most of the goals...
It was a glorious day for football as BEFC visited TML Division 3 Albion Old Boys in the Footy Japan Cup. With a number of players back from injury and the rigours of fatherhood a strong squad looked to gain some revenge for BEFC Lions who had suffered a defeat early in the season at the hands of...
BEFC vs Pumas matches are always great games, with their previous D2 head-to-head being 1 each both with a 1 - 0 scoreline. Since their last meeting Pumas have had a season in Division 1 to improve their game and BEFC headed down to Yokohama on the halloween weekend to find out exactly what this...
BEFC continued their foray into division 1 with a rainy late kick off against BFC, who they had played in last season's FJC Cup. The wet conditions made smooth passing difficult and opened up the premise of forced errors making the difference. With this in mind both sides began playing no nonsense...
BEFC Ladies together with 6 guest players from outside of the club took part in the Tokyu Ladies Soccer Smile 8 Cup hosted by Shibuya-ku. This is the same tournament that BELFC made their debut as a team earlier this year. This time BEFC Ladies was chosen to represent all the participating teams by...
BEFC Lions started their fourth game hoping to build on the strengths of the last game against Vagabonds, with the team hoping to show the same amount of hunger that nearly earned them a well-deserved first victory. Using the same formation as the last game, but crucially without centre-back Donald...
On October Sunday 8th in Saginuma, Kanagawa on NSK's sport field, NSK hosted the Friendly Cup 2017 in a new seven aside mixed format. The Friendly Cup recognises NSK and the UK's relationship going back to the 70s. Since then through to the present day NSK and the British Embassy of the United...
This year's Friendly Cup was played in beautiful weather in a Mixed 7s format hosted by NSK at their Saginuma ground. The larger space and natural grass created a whole different style than previous futsal competitions as the five teams battled it out (in a friendly manner of course) for the...
BEFC went into their last baptism of fire against the TML Divison 1 Runners up International FC with the fearsome opposition fielding no less than 3 professional football players. In addition to having some key players out, BEFC also trialed their new formation based on their current experience of...
BEFC Lions began their third game still stinging from the defeat of the second game. In BFC Vagabonds, the Lions faced a team with a very similar style to their last opponents – this was the perfect match to demonstrate that the Lions had learnt from their previous mistakes. Changing formation and...
BEFC Lions started their second game with a changed squad, rotating players around to reflect the more inclusive philosophy of their team. Against an older and slower opposition in Albion Old Boys, BEFC Lions were able to field their veteran players. The game started well, with the team taking...
BEFC finally got the challenge they wanted against the TML's number 1, and most successful team Hibernian. To become the best you have to play against the best, get out of the comfort zone and discover new targets that can raise your own game to the higher level. As expected it was a tough match...
As the BEFC Lions launched their first campaign as a TML Team, they gathered to face the pretty unknown threat of Nepal FC. Not withstanding this, they were equally ready and thirsty for a win, with their speed and strong keeping looking to show Lions what to expect from the Division 3. As BEFC...
