About us
This is a site for talking about Sanfrecce Hiroshima and their trials and tribulations in J1 in the 2011 season.
Claire and stefanole in Tottori, supporting Gainare's push for the J. League
stefanole, a.k.a. Stephen, was a JET living in Itsukaichi, Hiroshima city. He graduated with a degree in French Language and Linguistics from the University of Brighton on his birthday in 2008 and found himself in Japan a month later.
His first Sanfrecce game was a few days after his arrival in Hiroshima, on the third of August 2008. He watched the Great Violet Kingdom grind out a 1-0 victory against Sagan Tosu. Thankfully the rest of the 2008 season was a dramatic improvement interest-wise.
stefanole is a qualified referee and is registered with the Sussex FA. He also passed the French refereeing exam in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques district, under the Aquitaine Ligue’s auspices for the season 2006-2007 and refereed a season of junior football, the highlight being his selection as main referee for a regional cup semi-final (Coupe d’Aquitaine).

Hi Stefanole,
I am from Australia and wanting to see Sanfrecce Hiroshima play in December.
I was wondering how easy it is to get tickets. Can I get them at the venue on the day or can I book them online?
Cheers
Nikki

Hi stefanole
I’m a journalist from Portugal, from newspaper Maisfutebol (www.maisfutebol.iol.pt).
I’m trying to make an article about how the Hiroshima tragedy affected football in many ways. In fact, I don’t know if there’s any relation between these two things. I’m searching and I found this club (Sanfrecce Hiroshima) and your site, so I think that probably you could help me with this.
I don’t know if you know any story, any fact about football and Hiroshima tragedy…
