Looking for people for a JFA Account on X (Twitter)
Hi there ^^
Im a guy from Argentina who really supports the national team, sadly i have no friends to talk about the match cause the matches are like 4am-5am and the tweets about the national team on X are not so much besides being one of the best teams with a solid project around the world.
My initial idea to change that was trying to make an spanish account for the national team and J1 news. But it is almost impossible for me staying awake all the morning. And the spanish market its no good
So im looking for passionate people with a little bit of free time to helping me maintain the account with news and some analysis. i dont looking for professional people, only people with desire of supporting the JFA in the road to all finals on all FIFA competitions.

Advice on joining a soccer team/university in Japan
I'm a 19 year old boy living in Europe and I'd like to join a soccer team when I go to japan as an exchange student. But for this I have alot of questions.
I heard from sources that when you join a japanese university you will automatically join the soccer team (if you'd like to). Does this apply to exchange students coming from abroad aswell?
And is 19 years old still a valid age to be recruited in the universities soccer team?
If anyone could point me to the right direction and/or list some universities with a soccer team I would really appreciate it🙏
P.S.
It doesn't really matter what university in Japan, aslong as the rent in the city/school isn't expensive and have English programs available.
