Japan Women's Futsal National Team loses their first international friendly match against Portugal 0-8 in their Portugal Tour

On Sunday 2 September, the Japan Women's Futsal National Team played in an international friendly match against the Portugal Women's Futsal National Team during their tour in Portugal.

Japan started off the match with great intensity to attack the opposing goal aggressively but conceded the opening goal in the second minute of the match. Portugal added two more goals in the first half as they scored in the sixth and the 18th minute.

Despite the efforts made by Japan to get back into the match, Portugal kept on their pressure to add more goals, scoring five consecutive goals in the 20th, 25th, 27th, 29th, and 32nd minute to end the match with a score of 8-0.

The Japan Women's Futsal National Team will have another chance to play the Portugal Women's Futsal National Team on Monday 3 September.

Coach's Comment

KOGURE Kenichiro, Coach (Japan Women's Futsal National Team)
This was the first match for the Japan Women's Futsal National Team in nearly four years to face a top-ranking team of the world. This match really made us realise where we currently stand in the world, both as a team and as an individual. We must accept this experience as the national team and enter the second match with pride and commitment.
