JFA Academy Fukushima

Signature Fun Facts

What makes JFA Academy Fukushima what it is.

Japan's 2026 AFC U20 Women's Asian Cup final became one of the biggest moments of Sano's young career: she started against DPR Korea and scored in the 56th minute to give Japan a 1–0 victory and a record-extending seventh continental title.

Her football role model is Mako Matsukubo, another JFA Academy Fukushima graduate who went on to represent Japan at senior level.
