Message from the President of the Organizing Association

Hafa Adai from Guam!

On behalf of Guam Football Association, I am proud to present the EAFF East Asian U13 Festival 2015, made possible through the collaboration of EAFF, EAFF member associations and the Guam FA Local Organizing Committee.

The Guam FA is very much excited to play host to this festival, which aims to emphasize player development, camaraderie, and fair play as the main objectives of the event. The festival will also be a learning avenue for young coaches, referees, and administrators in the region as we all work toward elevating the overall level of football in East Asia. We look forward to welcoming all teams, officials, VIPs, and special guests to the beautiful island paradise of Guam.

I would like to thank the competing nations – Guam, Chinese Taipei, DPR Korea, Hong Kong, and the Northern Mariana Islands – for participating in this festival. We hope that all young athletes gain much-needed match experience as they develop into future professional and international footballers.

I also would like to graciously thank all fans and sponsors for continuing to support the development of football in East Asian region. The unwavering support helps tremendously to realize invaluable opportunities like this festival for the future success of our region's young, rising stars.

In closing, I wish all teams good luck in the competition and encourage the spirit of fair play in all matches. For our many fans and supporters, I hope you all enjoy the EAFF East Asian U13 Festival 2015 in Guam.

Warm regards,

Richard K. Lai
President,Guam Football Association
