The guide promises to be a robust companion for both avid and new futsal spectators. We encourage everyone to grab a copy alongside their game experience!

Important Correction Notice

We must address an error found in the introduction of player #4, Suzumi Yoneyama of Tachikawa Athletic FC Ladies. The description contained some inaccuracies. We sincerely apologize to Player Yoneyama and the club, as well as to those who have purchased the guide.

For volumes sold after June 6, stickers will be affixed to the incorrect areas, providing the amended text:

"A former Nadeshiko League player who also played for Okayama Yunogo Belle, Yoneyama contributes defensively and offensively with her abundant stamina and insight. This season marks her comeback from an injury sustained last year. Additionally, she serves as a 'Tokachi Tourism Ambassador' in Obihiro, Hokkaido."
