Comment from Mayuya Maekawa
I am very honored to have been selected to represent Japan again. I believe that thanks to the support of my fans and supporters, I have been able to play as Vissel Kobe’s regular goalkeeper, which has led to my selection to the Japan national team.
During this period of national team activities, we are also scheduled to play a match at Noevir Stadium Kobe, so we will do our best to participate in the match and show our fans and supporters that we are playing well.
