On the 20th, the JFA (Japan Football Association) announced 23 members of Nadeshiko Japan (Japan Women's National Team) who will be taking part in the Brazilian expedition late this month. Coach Nils Nielsen, who leads Nadeshiko Japan, touched on the selection criteria for the members, and expressed his hopes for the new players.
Coach Nielsen, who was welcomed as the first foreign manager in Nadeshiko Japan's history in December last year, won his first championship in the 2025 SheBelieves Cup, and has remained undefeated in four games so far, with three wins and one draw. Meanwhile, the Brazilian expedition to be held from May to June is scheduled to have two consecutive matches against the Brazilian women's national team, the host of the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup.
On the 20th, the members for the match were announced. The only person to be called up for the first time was Yamamoto Yuzuki (Nippon TV Tokyo Verdi Bereza), who won the 2024-25 SOMPO WE League Best Player Award, and the remaining players became, so to speak, “familiar” players.
