TAKAKURA Asako, Coach of Nadeshiko Japan

It has been determined that we will be facing Canada in this pivotal timing ahead of the Tokyo Olympics. By facing a powerhouse like Canada, it will give us a great opportunity to restart the team following the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Canada was also eliminated from the World cup at the round of 16, and we share the same disappointment. Both teams are determined to make a deeper run at the Olympics, and with the Olympics qualifiers scheduled ahead of them, Canada will be coming to Japan with great motivation. We hope to showcase an exciting match that can entertain the people of Shizuoka as well as the people all over the nation, while building positive momentum ahead of the Tokyo Olympics.
