On Saturday 15 October, the U-17 Japan Women's National Team played their second group stage match of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup India 2022™ against the U-17 Canada Women's National Team at Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
Japan scored four goals to secure their second straight 4-0 victory. With Tanzania's win over France in the earlier match, Japan have secured their spot into the knockout stage with one match to spare.
