TESHIROGI Naomi, International Women’s Referee
This is my first time participating in the AFC Women’s Asia Cup, very happy to be appointed. I was surprised at how participating referees are motivated when I attended the seminar the other day. I’d like to express my gratitude to JFA for giving me an opportunity to work with those motivated referees. I am really pleased to involve in the event with those experienced referees.
I hope I can participate in as many games as I can by keep making a good call, enjoy the game and I am ready to take up the challenges at the same time.
