Cheering for Japanese Women Soccer Players (August 8, 2026)

On August 8, Consul-General Okajima attended an exciting National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) match between Denver Summit FC and Utah Royals FC. In this match, four Japanese players took the field: Mina Tanaka, Miyabi Moriya, and Narumi Miura from the Utah Royals, and Yuzuki Yamamoto from the Denver Summit. It was a special moment to see all four Japanese players come together on the same stage.

Thanks to Summit’s generosity, we had the valuable opportunity to meet with all four players after the match. We expressed our heartfelt respect and encouragement to these athletes, who are shining brightly and working hard far from home. We would like to extend our deep appreciation to the Denver Summit for arranging this wonderful opportunity for exchange.

The Consulate-General of Japan in Denver will continue to wholeheartedly support all Japanese athletes active in the Rocky Mountain region!

Go Denver Summit! Go Utah Royals!
