Comment of Coach TAKAKURA Asako

We feel very fortunate to be able to face our fellow AFC friend and rival, Australia, in our final preparation match ahead of the Tokyo Olympics. With Australia being set to co-host the FIFA Women's World Cup with New Zealand in 2023, they must be eager to earn strong results at this Olympics. They are grouped with powerhouses like the USA and Sweden in the group stage, so this match should be a very important match for them to get ready for the group stage. We are expecting an intense match, so we hope to make the most of this opportunity and work together as a team to earn a win that can give us extra momentum at the Tokyo Olympics.
