🇯🇵 Has @jfa_nadeshiko learned the lessons from heart-breaking exits at the Women's Asian Cup 2022, Women's World Cup 2023 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games?

They'll need to if they are to go all the way to continental glory in Australia.

@akakichnoeleven If they can break through those extreme defensive tactics we see at the AWCL

[Alex Bishop @ABishop32]

Naomoto to follow Shiokoshi and coach Kusunose over to Beleza. That’s some team they’re building this summer.

After four seasons the #WELeague is finally starting to show signs of commercial promise.

But just how has Yoshikazu Nonomura fared in his first season as chairman and what can we expect moving forward?

@akakichnoeleven @aishiterutokyo They did a great job of keeping hold of players too. Until now!

It’s actually crazy that Takahashi isn’t among the names mentioned.

[Alex Bishop @ABishop32]

An absolute exodus happening at Reds as 5 players prepare to leave the club with some heading overseas.

Ishikawa
Endo
Kurishima
Takeuchi
Naomoto

This impacts pretty much all areas of the pitch.

@akakichnoeleven For me the decision to get rid of Kusunose was far too much of a knee-jerk. Completely ruined the golden era.

[Alex Bishop @ABishop32]

@akakichnoeleven You keep those middle fingers well taped to your index fingers.

Beleza have now officially won the transfer window!

Dynamic midfielder Yuzuho Shiokoshi joins the league champions from rivals Urawa. If they can get her performing at her best they’ll be unstoppable this season 😮

@R_by_Ryo There is definitely a nostalgic quality to this game.

I think all that stuff they put out the other year about becoming more attacking etc was just a marketing stunt with the badge change the only thing to show for it.

[Alex Bishop @ABishop32]

Saori Takarada returns to Cerezo Osaka after a long spell overseas.

This past season saw her play multiple roles at Leicester City and this is arguably the most noteworthy transfer so far this window.
