Japan captain Honoka Yotsumoto says the players want to return home with the U-17 Women’s World Cup trophy, DAILY POST reports.
Sadayoshi Shirai’s side will be gunning for their first-ever title at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup when they take on Nigeria’s Flamingos in the final on Saturday.

They must now beat the Flamingos to make it a memorable end to the competition.
Yotsumoto declared that they are heading into the final in a confident mood.

“Now we have just one more match to win, and we’re determined to make history,” she told FIFA.
