To gear up for the Pan Pacific Championship, Gamba Osaka of Japan will take on the Hawai'i Pacific University men's soccer team tomorrow at 3 p.m. at Waipi'o Peninsula Soccer Stadium in Waipahu.

Gamba Osaka is competing in next week's four-team Pan Pacific Championship at Aloha Stadium. The other three pro teams are the Los Angeles Galaxy, Houston Dynamo and Sydney FC.

The exhibition match will feature three 45-minute periods, one more extra period than a regulation soccer match.

HPU coach Scott Liedtke said playing a team like Gamba Osaka is a privilege.

"This is a great opportunity for our players and coaches to see up close what the highest level of soccer looks like," Liedtke said in a press release.

HPU finished the 2007 season with a 4-5-1 record.
