Original content from the WE League Silver Partners, Persol Group and the WE League, "WE LIFE - The Protagonists of the WE League" A documentary video that shines a spotlight on WE Leaguers and those who work in the WE League area. The 18th episode features Naomi Kawasumi of Albirex Niigata Ladies. Kawasumi joined Albirex Niigata Ladies in the 2023-24 season. This season, she pushed forward in line with the words "Give Niigata a title!" that she wrote on a colored paper at her press conference for joining Albirex Niigata Ladies in August last year. In the 2023-24 WE League Cup, she was just one step away from the title she was aiming for. We also follow her off-season, where we can see how well she gets along with her teammates. We follow Kawasumi as she spends her time in Niigata as a player for Albirex Niigata Ladies. ●Editor's Note by the Director in Charge of Video Production "She's a pro." This is the first impression I get every time I meet Kawasumi. While her teammates all agreed that "She has no secrets. She is just as you would imagine her to be," Kawasumi herself said with a laugh, "If fans were to follow me closely, they would just think I look like Kawasumi Nahomi!" She is always natural. But in her every move, you can sense the pride of a professional soccer player. Spending every day with her, Albirex Niigata Ladies must be spending irreplaceable time together. She is longing for a title for Niigata! They have certainly come close this season. But how will they make up for the last step that they didn't reach? And what kind of scene will await them once they have achieved that goal? I can't wait to see Albirex Niigata Ladies next season. And in July, it will be 13 years since Nadeshiko Japan won the World Cup. Kawasumi Nahomi, the driving force behind the world champions, continues to shine even now. In fact, now is the time to see her. I hope you will come to the stadium to see her fight. ●Persol Group Special page to support the WE League https://www.persol-group.co.jp/specia... ●Background to the production of the documentary video https://www.persol-group.co.jp/news/2... ●WE League official website https://weleague.jp/ ●WE League official Twitter / we_league_jp ●WE League official Instagram / we_league [Stores visited] ◎Shimizuen Address: 1341-1 Shimagata, Shibata city, Niigata Prefecture Opening hours: 11:00 - 21:30 (L0 21:00) http://sanpou-g.co.jp/ ◎JA Kita Niigata Agricultural Produce Direct Sales Shop Kottama-ya Address: 1341-1 Shimagata, Shibata city, Niigata Prefecture Opening hours: 9:00 - 18:00 Closed on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month https://ja-kitaniigata.or.jp/kotta-ma... ◎Woloku Botanyama Store Address: 3-18-34 Botanyama, Higashi-ku, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture Business hours: 9:00-24:00 https://www.uoroku.co.jp/shop/botanya... #WELeague #Persol #Women'sSoccer #WELIFE
