The captain of the team, Saki Kumagai, gave an exclusive interview in which she revealed that Japan's ambition is to pursue a third consecutive title.
Sashi Kumagai said in the interview, "After the Tokyo Olympics, our team went through a massive roster reshuffle, which is both an opportunity and a challenge for us. We can't change history, but we can choose to become stronger and make our team competitive on the world stage. I will devote myself to the team with all my passion and strength."
Talking about this Asian Cup, Sashi Kumagai said firmly: "First of all, we have to be well-prepared and give our best from the group stage to try to reach the knockout stage. Then, we will take one step at a time and try to achieve the goal of a third consecutive championship, which is what our team is striving for, and we will fight for it without reservation."
