As a female athlete, Fukuda Shiori wants to be a role model for many women, and for her, soccer is more than just a sport. She sees soccer as a means to bring energy and confidence to women and build a society in which everyone can thrive. Sympathizing with the WE League's philosophy of "realizing a society filled with diversity in dreams and ways of life, where each and every person can shine," Fukuda believes in that future and continues to take on challenges. Having played for Urawa Red Diamonds since her junior youth days, the sight of her using her long limbs and high physical ability to protect the goal symbolizes her efforts and conviction. As a member of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies, what future does Fukuda envision? We spoke to her about this. *Top image taken by Nagata Kei
