Neither Yui Sawaki nor Momoe Tani knew anything about football when they joined the teams at their respective universities as students.
Now they’re not just among the few women working in football, they are playing significant roles since returning to their school teams after graduation.
Sawaki leads the Kansai Gaidai University Lynx in a role similar to that of a general manager on a pro team. Tani, meanwhile, is the offensive coordinator for the Kyoto Prefectural University Wyverns.
