Back

DF 4 KUMAGAI Saki

She has been to four FIFA Women's World Cups, including the FIFA Women's World Cup Germany 2011™, where Japan were crowned world champions, and two Olympic Games, and has been captain since 2017.
Although centre-back is her main position with the national team, she has also developed a reputation as a defensive midfielder and anchor at club level.
Her precise positioning and ability to anticipate and defend against opponents has taken her to the top clubs in Europe, winning league titles in Japan, France, Germany and Italy, as well as five Champions League titles.
She has also been nominated for the Ballon d'Or several times.
The way she refreshes her mind is by eating something tasty.
