Japan Women's National Team Kit
The Japan women's jersey features the deep blue of the team, known as Nadeshiko Japan, with the three-legged crow of the federation on the chest. The away kit usually plays on white.
Japan won the 2011 Women's World Cup, a title that remains a benchmark for Asian football.
Nadeshiko Japan, a nickname and a way of playing
The nickname Nadeshiko comes from a flower associated in Japanese culture with a sense of grace and resilience. It fits the image of a team built on technique and short play rather than physical impact.
This identity is reflected in the collections: brands regularly work with patterns inspired by Japanese craftsmanship or nature, which makes these jerseys stand out from the more classic outfits of other teams.
The 2011 world title
Japan won the Women's World Cup in 2011, becoming the first Asian nation to lift the trophy. This success firmly established the team among the tournament's benchmarks and made its kits known beyond Asia.
The next world event takes place in Brazil, from June 24 to July 25, 2027. The qualifications are organised confederation by confederation.
Player version or supporter version?
The player version features the cut worn in matches, tailored and lightweight, with a close fit that runs small. The supporter version retains the badge and design in a looser cut and thicker fabric.
For everyday use, the supporter version is the logical choice. The player version is for those who want the exact outfit from the matches.
What size to choose?
The women's, men's, and children's cuts follow different size charts. The women's cut is fitted at the waist and shorter at the shoulders, while the men's cut falls straighter.
Be careful of Japanese sizes on certain imported items, which may run smaller than European size charts. The product sheet displays the applicable size chart, and that is the one that counts.
Other Asian teams
China, South Korea, and the Philippines represent the Asian zone, with Australia attached to the same confederation. The Women's World Cup page brings together all the nations.
Where to find a cheaper Japan jersey

Black Friday, end-of-year festivities, winter sales, and then French Days punctuate the site's discounts. Since Japanese jerseys are often produced in limited runs, the common sizes sell out quickly.
