1953 Japan v Djurgardens

Japan v Djurgardens - 1953

Djurgardens from Sweden travelled to Japan in November 1953 to play two games against the Japan National Team. The first game was played on 22 November and Djurgardens easily beat Japan 5-1. In the second game on 29 November Japan fared even worse as Djurgardens crushed Japan by a score of 9-1.

The pin medal I have in my collection for this game is very rare and interesting and I suspect might possibly have been given to one of the players or officials? The official ticket for the game on 29 November is also shown below.
