＜Regarding passports, wallets and staff support＞
Upon arriving at the destination, the staff will take care of the player’s passports and wallets to avoid loss of items. The main exception is when shopping or sightseeing.
Please let us know ahead of time if you prefer the player keeps the passport and/or wallet himself/herself.
Additionally, please note that we cannot take any responsibility for loss or theft of personal belongings.
Japanese staff/coaches will support the players from departure until arrival back in Japan.
Japanese staff/coaches will also support the players in Turin not only during the tournament but throughout the entirity of the trip.

＜Regarding hotel rooming and laundry＞

<Regarding the flight and transit>
Where will the players meet the staff?
The players will meet the coaches and rest of the staff directly at the airport.
Please make your own arrangements for transportation to and from the airport.
I think it would be difficult for the player to pick up the suitcase at the airport by himself/herself, will the staff support him/her?
While we recommend choosing a suitcase that the player can pull by himself/herself (40L), the staff will be helping the players with their luggage until they reach the hotel.

While it is possible to contact the player during the Juventus Academy World Cup, we have experienced that the players will be fully immersed and focused on the event.
The event will be only a week long, so please look forward to the many stories that your son/daughter will share after returning home!
Should I give my child a smartphone for the duration of the Juventus Academy World Cup?
It is certainly possible to bring a smartphone to the trip, but we recommend not to.
There are many different experiences to be enjoyed at the Juventus Academy World Cup and it would be a shame if the players spend time on their smartphones rather than with the group or enjoying the difference in cultures, scenery and more.

As with the smartphone, this is left to the discretion of each family but we do not recommend it.
If the player brings a game console we will allow its use during flights but not during the stay.
