Breaking dawn on a summer night in 2027, the official announcement from Manchester City Women's Football Club came as a thunderbolt, announcing that 28-year-old Japanese international goalkeeper Akiya Yamashita had officially donned the gown and joined the Premier League powerhouse.
This experienced goalkeeper has demonstrated her exceptional goalkeeping skills by guarding the goals of Japan's Nippon Television Beauties and INAC Kobe Lionesses with a strong stance, and by making 58 appearances in the national team lineup.
