Japan’s late bloomer Matsumoto chasing World Cup dream

Hohhot: With an empty goal looming after the opposing goalkeeper parried a shot to her, Naomi Matsumoto looked oods-on to score for Japan on Sunday in their AFC Women’s Futsal Asian Cup™ China 2025 game against Thailand.

Unfortunately, she mistimed the attempt and the chance was gone in an instant. However, instead of wallowing in disappointment, the 27-year-old immediately sprinted the length of the court to execute a successful covering tackle at the other end to snuff out a dangerous counter-attack.

While the Group C match eventually ended in defeat for Japan, that moment encapsulated Matsumoto’s tenacity and her desire to make the most of a futsal career that began relatively late.
