It was show time for BEFC as they prepared to challenge the classic old rival BFC in the Footy Japan Competitions Cup for a place in the Final! This match had a lot of history, especially with BFC originally formed from BEFC in the early 80s. They are both the original British Football Club of...
BEFC headed out to their least favourite pitch against the team they have failed to beat for over 4 years for a vital relegation battle showdown where coming back with 3 points was the only acceptable outcome. For over 4 seasons BEFC have never managed to beat Sala. And while in some cases Sala at...
In the prelude to the FJC Semi-Final BEFC faced the return match in the league against ancient rivals British Football Club. It was a tough match to lose as for most of the game BEFC were much the better team. It was yet another lesson of Division 1 in which a mistake or misfortune in the wrong...
The Lions maiden voyage into the Plate saw them into the quarter-finals versus Division 2 side Imperio FC. Due to a mix-up with schedules, as well as injuries to key players, the Lions were just about to scramble a team together, which on paper, looked very tasty. However, two players who were...
Lions unbeaten record continued as they prepared to face Saitama Jets, a team with the best defensive record in the division, but otherwise a large unknown for Lions who were ready to make the almost international voyage (distance wise it felt) to their home pitch! With a number of injuries...
The last time Lions met Dutch FC was at the beginning of the season when they were fresh and new to the TML. It was a tough match as Lions found themselves on the end of a 1 - 6 battering albeit from a very good side. Dutch for a long time were a good division 2 side who only found their way into...
BEFC Ladies headed down to MIFA in Toyosu for the MIFA FP Ladies Tournament finishing 4th!! During the tournament Namiho took the most shots and scored the most goals, ultimately leading to the Ladies BEFC fourth place finish. Even though she was slotted in a striker position, she managed to run...
A hard fought game, with a bitter result, but considering the whopping defeat BEFC Lions suffered at the hands of Sagarmatha last time it would be fair to say that there is a clear progress being made by the team. It was remarked by members that the team has now improved in patience, passing and...
BEFC headed out to the least liked venue in Soga to take on unknowns GUTS SC in the Footy Japan Cup quarter finals. With Hibernian knocked out by BFC last week it really opened up the chance for cup glory. Matched up with a favorable draw against a division 2 club BEFC would have to overcome the...
In the return match vs FC International BEFC knew they would be up against the highest scoring offence in the league, so it didn't look too good when last minute changes forced a trial player Shouller into starting the match in the 3 man back line. However the match started positively with BEFC...
The return match against Celts was going to be a tight one. The first game was famous for a shocking first half and then a dominant second but without the luck to find the net. This time it was similar but different! Having struggled defensively in the past few matches BEFC revisited the roles in...
With the Lions unbeaten for 4 consecutive games, they faced a strong challenge against Shane FC, currently in third. In the first half, Lions dominated the game. From the left side Nils, Noki, Torsten and Kaz passed well and then delivered a long ball to Jorge on the right side. Jorge’s quickness...
On the back of a three-match unbeaten run, and after defeating Clash 2-0 in the Plate, the Lions entered this match full of confidence. Indeed, that confidence paid off in the first half with club captain Ben and Lions vice-captain Kaz combining perfectly up top to score the goals. The first goal...
BEFC headed out for another late kick off for a debut against Swiss Kickers. Swiss Kickers had long been one of the top division 1 teams but so far this season appeared to struggle.

Matches against Sala are always big games and intense. This match was no different though not helped by a few unfortunate dropouts and some actual no-shows leaving BEFC with a valiant 11 players to take on the perenial Sala FC nemesis. BEFC started brightly continuing their good form from the...
