The squad is mainly made up of members selected at the 2024 SheBelieves Cup in April, including SEIKE Kiko, TAKAHASHI Hana and ISHIKAWA Rion from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Urawa Reds Ladies, who won the WE League title for the second year in a row. Overseas players include KUMAGAI Saki (AS Roma) and MINAMI Moeka (AS Roma), who earned their 150th and 50th caps respectively for Nadeshiko Japan in April, as well as SHIMIZU Risa (West Ham United) and HASEGAWA Yui (Manchester City).

Ikeda said of Takahashi: “She has recovered well from her injury, and I have seen her performances in the WE League.

I believe that her ability to drive towards the goal will help us greatly.” .....
