The Japan Frescobol Association announced the establishment of the 'Waseda Frescobol Club - Miyako no Seihoku (WAFC),' which is the 30th base in Japan and the 6th official student group. Frescobol is a beach sport invented in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1945. It is often called the 'sport of consideration' because two players cooperate to keep a rally going rather than competing against each other. The club was established after students from Waseda and other universities encountered the sport through regional activities in Rikuzentakata, Tohoku.
