1970 Japan v Flamengo v Gothenburg

Japan v Flamengo v Gothenburg - 1970

Flamengo of Brazil and Gothenburg of Sweden travelled to Japan in March 1970 to play in a four-team tournament against Japan A and Japan B National Teams and in a series of friendlies against Japanese club teams.

In the four-team tournament Japan A drew 1-1 with Gothenburg on 8 March, defeated Japan B 4-1 on 15 March, and drew 1-1 with Flamengo on 21 March.

The official programme, which covers all of the games has 20 x B5 pages (three of which are adverts) and is all in Japanese.

The pin badge/medal I have in my collection for the four-team tournament is also very rare and interesting and I suspect might possibly have been given to one of the players or officials?
