RB Omiya Ardija WOMEN, which has been making waves in the WE League since becoming Red Bull-affiliated in October 2024, will host FC Bayern WOMEN, the four-time consecutive champions of Germany's Women's Bundesliga, for an international friendly match on July 25th at NACK5 Stadium Omiya. WOWOW will exclusively broadcast this match live starting at 4:30 PM.

This highly anticipated match, marking FC Bayern WOMEN's first official tour in Asia and Japan, will feature double commentary by two former Nadeshiko Japan stars: Aya Sameshima, who has experience playing in Europe and recently retired from RB Omiya Ardija WOMEN, and Mana Iwabuchi, who previously played for FC Bayern WOMEN and still has teammates from her time there among the current squad.

FC Bayern WOMEN is a top European powerhouse in German Women's Bundesliga, achieving four consecutive league titles from the 2022-23 season to the 2025-26 season. The team also features Moena Tanikawa, the next-generation ace for Nadeshiko Japan, as a key player. This match is drawing attention as her homecoming game after further development. Please enjoy this historic match, which holds great significance for Japanese women's football, through WOWOW's live broadcast.

I am truly delighted that a dream match will be realized at NACK5 Stadium Omiya, a place with special memories for me.

I will do my utmost to convey the charm of women's football through this match, alongside Ms. Iwabuchi who also has experience playing for Bayern, while paying close attention to the players of RB Omiya Ardija WOMEN and Ms. Tanikawa, who is a key player for FC Bayern WOMEN.

I am very grateful and happy that Bayern, with whom I had wonderful experiences during my playing career, will be coming to Japan, and that I will have the opportunity to provide commentary for such a match. I believe this is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to learn about the excellent play of the Japanese players and the appeal of world women's football alongside Ms. Sameshima, so I want to work hard and enjoy it together.
