Japan has been the scene of a powerful earthquake in the first days of 2024, with an epicenter located in the Ishikawa prefecture. The earthquake, which reached a magnitude of 7.4 degrees of intensity, has led the Japanese authorities to issue a tsunami alert, given the forecast of waves of up to five meters that could impact the entire western coast of the country. The first waves, a product of the earthquake, have begun to hit the coast, increasing tension between residents and emergency teams. The country, with a significant history of seismic events, is constantly vigilant to respond in the most effective way possible to these situations.

Among the residents who have experienced the earthquake is Jordi Ferrón, a former soccer player trained in the youth ranks of FC Barcelona. Ferrón, who left the Blaugrana team in 1999 and developed his career in teams such as Rayo Vallecano, Real Zaragoza and Albacete Balompié, is remembered for his silver medal with the Spanish team at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Currently, he works as coach of INAC Kobe Leonessa, a club that plays in the first division of women’s soccer in Japan.

Everything has moved… In the news there is concern and possible tsunami evacuation on the west coast. Kobe is on the east coast. Let’s hope it’s just a scare…”, said the Spanish coach.

Japanese emergency teams, highly specialized in reacting to natural disasters, remain alert as they continue to assess the situation and the damage caused by the earthquake. Likewise, preventive measures are being taken and citizens are urged to follow the evacuation and safety instructions established for such events. The international community remains attentive to the development of events and shows its solidarity with Japan in the face of this adverse start to the year.

The Catalan trained in the youth ranks of Barcelona, ​​where he began his career as a right back. Despite his promising start, Ferrón left the Catalan club in 1999 after not finding enough opportunities in the first team, which at that time had ample competition in his position. After his departure from Barça, he played for teams such as Rayo Vallecano, Real Zaragoza or Albacete Balompié, among others. One of his most significant achievements is his participation with the Spanish team in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, where they won the silver medal.

After retiring from professional football as a player, Ferrón has dedicated himself to the world of training. His career as a coach has taken him outside of Spain, specifically to Japan, where he has assumed the role of coach of INAC Kobe Leonessa, a team that competes in the first division of Japanese women’s soccer. With a profile that ranges from the promise of La Masia, the FC Barcelona academy, to international experience as a coach, Jordi Ferrón represents a figure in Spanish football with a diverse career rich in nuances, both inside and outside of Spain.
