Masaki Fukai's Football Journey

Masaki Fukai was born in Fujikawa, Yamanashi, Japan, on September 13, 1980. After finishing his studies at Komazawa University, he started his professional football career.

Playing for Kashima Antlers

In 2003, Masaki joined Kashima Antlers, a well-known club in Japan's top football league, the J1 League. He played in many games each season for the Antlers. During his time there, the team did very well in the J.League Cup. They finished as runner-up in both the 2003 and 2006 tournaments.

Time at JEF United Chiba

At JEF United Chiba, Masaki played a lot as a forward. He even teamed up with Seiichiro Maki, who was his teammate back at Komazawa University. Unfortunately, JEF United finished last in the 2009 season. This meant the club was moved down to the J2 League for the first time ever. Masaki continued to play often in 2012. However, an injury in 2013 limited his playing time. He left the club at the end of the 2013 season.
