In order to help Kawasaki Frontale conquer Asia at all, from his injured teammates to the Japanese Football Association.

The pre-press conference for the 2024-2025 Asian Football Confederation Champions League Elite (ACLE) final was held at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on the 2nd (Korea time). The final match will be held the next day (Korea time on the 4th) at the same place with Al Ahli (Saudi) and Kawasaki Frontale (Japan).
Ahead of the match, Kawasaki called up players who did not join the Saudi team but remained in Japan, including injured players who were not essential personnel, and club staff who remained in Japan as Jeddah. They challenged the team to win as one and gave consideration so that they could experience the finals in person. They allowed Kawasaki to become an intangible player in the future. 안전놀이터

Thanks to this, Kawasaki has two Korean players. Originally, "Legend" Jung Sung-ryong was helping other players in the Saudi Arabian team. Lee Keun-hyung, a 20-year-old promising goalkeeper, joined the team. Lee Keun-hyung, who joined Kawasaki right after graduating from high school, had yet to make his debut due to an injury and was undergoing treatment and rehabilitation in Japan regardless of coming to Saudi Arabia.

The Japanese Football Association provided beef and eel to the Kawasaki team. Kawasaki was accompanied by a chef. At the hotel, the team's chef was cooking meals for the team. On top of that, Japanese players airlifted healthy ingredients that were good for the team.

Tsunayasu Miyamoto, president of the Japanese Football Association, and Yoshikazu Nonomura, president of the J-League, will also support Kawasaki on the spot and hold "football diplomacy" with the AFC.

This year's ACLE adopted the "Final Stage" method, in which a single East Asian team automatically advances to the finals, as it did in the past. As a result, the prevailing view was that Saudi teams with overwhelming power and home advantage would have a showdown in the finals. Through this, Kawasaki made an unexpected decision to go to the finals, improving the quality of the tournament. The East Asian team is showing good performance to the organizers.
