The Phoenix are back on the field.
The Nihon University football team, which has been suspended by the Kantoh Collegiate Football Association for the 2018 season after the illegal tackle incident on May 6, had an exhibition game against a combined X League team on Saturday at Yokohama Stadium.
Despite a six-month absence, the Phoenix dominated in a 51-6 rout of the X League side, a mixed team of Fujitsu Xerox, Bulls Football Club and Meiji Yasuda, all of which have already finished the regular season.
