quarantine after an entry into Japan has been lifted.

borders is as mentioned above, Asia League will are also seeking to organize
the Asia League in the form of the regional championships in accordance with
the social affair, respecting the situation in each country and the intention
of each team, and giving the maximum consideration to the spread of the
COVID-19.
