Hello everyone,
To the people following me from Twitter would know of my work and I would share samples of it here too.
I am available for freelance work (data vizzes, data and tactical writing around women's football and men's football).
Would love to have any leads. Thank you!
And the JFA have been kind enough to put it in English 😊
Urawa Red Diamonds sacked coach Naoki Kusunose.
Last Sunday in quarter-final match, Urawa were eliminated from AFC Champions League by Wuhan Jiangda
(0-0 a.e.t, pso. 5-6).
Urawa dominated throughout the game (24-2 in shots) but were unable to put the ball in their rivals' net.
I have never seen such a database. Here's a pretty incomplete list based on some of my notes.
My understanding is the club's decision was performance-related and, in particular, there was a feeling that making this change would give the team the best-possible chance to qualify for next season's Women's Champions League + fight for trophies. #ManCity #MCWFC www.theguardian.com/football/202...
5th highest attendance in women's club football in Japan. 🎉
Sanfrecce Hiroshima held Urawa Reds to a scorless draw at Edion Peace Wing in Hiroshima in 13th round of Japan WE League.

Hmm.. That is to say, if Japan is awarded the rights to host the 2039 World Cup, the core of the future participating team will be made up of current 10-13 year-old female footballers, whose development currently depends.... on a crowdfunding campaign set by JFA? 😂
Excl: The launch of the new 16-team Women's Club World Cup, previously proposed for Jan-Feb 2026, could now be delayed, according to sources. Discussions are ongoing ahead of this week's Fifa Council, where the competition still has huge support. @theguardian.com

Yui Hasegawa vs USA | She Believes Cup 2025
Japan beat USA in the final of the She Believes Cup and one of the key proponents for Japan was Hasegawa.
Be it front foot defending, distribution, controlling territory, she does it all. One of the best midfielders in the world rn!
🇯🇵 🏆 The triumph at #SheBelieves is commendable in itself, but what did it tell us about Nielsen’s vision for Nadeshiko Japan?
✍️ In my latest for @JapanTimes.co.jp I examine the key takeaways from a superbly well managed campaign.

The Japan Football Association has launched a crowdfunding campaign for its underage women's teams, with an initial target of ¥5 million.
Funds will be used to give U-16, U-17 and U-19 women's teams more training camps and friendlies.
