They also took classes together with the local Japanese school students, exchanging culture between South Sudan and Japan.<\/p>\n

It is expected that the two players who are both members of sports academies in Juba will continue to work with the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Ministry of Youth and Sports to share their experiences with the rest of the players in the various academies to improve the skills of football players in South Sudan.<\/p>\n

The Embassy further said the opportunity offered to the two players is a symbol of \u201cthe strong friendship and collaboration\u201d between South Sudan and Japan.<\/p>\n
