On the 26th, 13 of the 23 players called up, Nadeshiko Japan, departed from Haneda Airport in preparation for the international friendly match with the Brazilian women's national team (May 30th and June 2nd) in Sao Paulo, a total of 23 players. The remaining 10 will join in the future.
This time, the event will be a “rehearsal exercise” for the expedition to Brazil, the 2027 World Cup, which will be held in Brazil.
Defendant Takahashi Hana (25, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Urawa), who answered an interview before his departure, said, “This is my first time going to Brazil, so I'm looking forward to being able to go to Brazil, the soccer kingdom. I think my passion for soccer is extremely high. I want to absorb a variety of things.”
He scored seven goals, tied for fifth place in the WE League this season. While registering as a defender, he also worked as a forward, and expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “Of course I want to play as a forward as well. But I know there's still more to come, so I want to practice more. My best ideal is to be able to do both (defensive and forward), so I want to work hard.”
