Since 2012 the JCA have been delighted to host the Pakistan Ambassador and play a match between the Japan Men’s Team and a Pakistan Ambassador’s XI. The match will go ahead again in 2017.

Known as the Youm-E-Azadi Cup, the match is scheduled for Sunday 6^th August and will take place at Sano Ground Three due to the renovation work being done at SICG.

The match will begin at 13:30 and should be completed by 16:30. We hope people will attend to watch the men play at home for the first time since last years East Asia Cup Final.

Japan won a close match last year thanks to 59 from Makoto Taniyama.
