Since starting a new challenge as Nadeshiko Japan in October 2021, we have played friendly matches against European countries, matches against Asian countries to compete for the right to qualify for the World Cup, and matches against countries in Africa and Oceania. Among them, this time, two North American countries, the United States, who are in the middle of winning consecutive World Cups, Canada, the champions of the Tokyo Olympics last year, and Brazil, which passed the South American qualifiers for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 at the top. You can play against teams from new continents. As we prepare for the opening of the tournament in July, we would like to get more tough as a team and as individuals here. #NadeshikoJapan #soccer #football #women’s soccer #TV Tokyo #TV Tokyo Sports #live delivery #live
