TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese World Cup winner Yuki Nagasato, who in 2020 made history by briefly signing on loan for a men's team, has called time on her 24-year professional career at the age of 37.
The striker played 132 times for her country, including at the 2011 World Cup where she came on as a substitute in the final as the Nadeshiko beat the United States to clinch the biggest prize in women's football.
