On the 3rd, the Japan Football Association (JFA) announced 26 Japanese national team members who will be competing in the East Asia E-1 Championship (7th to 16th) to be held in Chiba City from the 7th.

The goalkeeper was Nagoya Grampus' Pisano Alexandre Kotohorio (19th, 19) who was selected. With Machida goalkeeper Tani Akio, a regular member of the World Cup Asian final qualifying round, being eliminated, new players will be called up.

He just made his debut this season and has only played in nine league games. Regarding the reason for his selection, coach Moriyasu Kazushi said, “The reason is that he continues to play in games as regulars in Nagoya. Looking at his performances, he can feel his growth as if he has every game. There are other players who could have been selected as experience points, but I hope that (Pisano) will grow even further through this tournament.”
