Thank you for your warm support.
In 2023, the club's 20th-anniversary year, we aimed to win the league title, but unfortunately, we finished in second place. However, I am grateful to the sponsors, club officials, teammates, and the many people who have supported me, leading to my winning the Player of the Year and Top Scorer awards. Thank you very much.

In 2024, I will take on the dual role of head coach and player with the team. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to take on this new challenge. I will share my experiences to date, while also learning a great deal from my teammates and staff, as we strive to achieve our goal of winning the WPL title.
I look forward to your continued support this season.
