The winner of the World Cup with Japan Yuki Nagasatowhich in 2020 made history by briefly signing as a male group, ended with its 24 -a professional career in the age of 37. The lead played 132 times in his country, including the 2011 World Cup, where he entered in exchange for the final after Nadeshiko defeated the United States to obtain the most important women’s football award.
“For 30 years, because I kicked a ball for the first time, football was my life. I chased the game, challenged myself and grew up with every success and defeat,” Nagasato said in an Instagram post. “Travel is not always easy, but with every moment it makes sense. Getting off is not an easy decision, but I’m excited to come.”
Most of his career happened by the United States
Nagasato’s career brought him from Japan to Germany, where he won the Champions League with the Potsdam turbine in 2010, and then Chelsea in England before spent eight seasons in the US with the Chicago Red Stars, Louisville and Houston Dash career. It was while playing for Red Stars Nagasato, inspired by Megan Rapinoe’s campaign for the game in the game, returned to play five games for her brother’s team, Hayabusa Eleven, in the second division of Japan.
“I thought I could show that women could also play in a male group. I would like to help create a community where there are no gender or race limits.” Nagasato, who also won an Olympic silver medal in the 2012 London Games, scored 58 goals for his country and was just behind the homare pawa (83) as the highest international scorer in Japan.
