PROFESSIONAL LUNCHEON
Takeshi Okada,
Coach of the Japanese National Football Team

The speech and Q & A will be in Japanese with English interpretation

Japan soccer team coach Takeshi Okada has said his side is aiming to make the semifinals in the World Cup in South Africa next year. Facing Holland, Denmark and Cameroon in the group stage, it's going to be a tough sell.

Okada, who coached Japan to the 1998 World Cup in France, where they lost all three games, is confident in his squad, which now boasts a healthy number of players with European experience. With the World Cup six months away, Okada will come to the Club to tell us what Japan can expect in South Africa.

The lunch event will start at 1 p.m.
