Players' Comments 

MF #7   SUGITA Hina (INAC Kobe)
Until the first match of the championship, I want to make good decisions in the middle much quicker and contribute to scoring. As a team we need to pay more attention to scoring goals. Our aim is to win this championship, along with qualifying for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. 

FW #22   ANZAI Yuka (JEF United Ichihara Chiba Ladies)
Now I have more sense of tension in regards to the championship after arriving in China where we will play for the AFC U-19 Women’s Championship. We want to improve our level of play not only as a team but also as individual players, to win this championship. I want to play aggressively to contribute to the team’s victory.
