Club career

[edit]

Nagasato was born in Atsugi on 15 July 1987. In 2001, she was promoted to Nippon TV Beleza from her youth team. In the 2002 season, she debuted in L.League. She became one of the division's top scorers in 2006 season. She also won the league championship 6 times (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008).

In 2010, Nagasato moved to Turbine Potsdam in Germany, where she won the Bundesliga's leading goal-scorer award. She also won the UEFA Champions League with that team. In 2013, she transferred to the English FA WSL club Chelsea.[5]

She joined Wolfsburg in early 2015 to play in a stronger league for the 2015 World Cup.[6] In August 2015, Nagasato joined UEFA Champions League 2015 winners Frankfurt.[7]

On 24 May 2017 it was announced that she had signed with the Chicago Red Stars of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), she appeared in only 6 games in 2017 due to injury.[8] In 2018 she was named Player of the Week for week 10 [9]

In October 2018, Nagasato signed with Brisbane Roar on loan for the 2018–19 W-League season.[10]

On 10 September 2020, Nagasato made history by becoming the first woman to play for Hayabusa Eleven, a men's team in the Kanagawa Prefecture League; she joined on loan until prior to the beginning of the 2021 NWSL season.[11]

On 26 October 2020, newly-formed club Racing Louisville FC announced Nagasato as one of their first signings for the 2021 National Women's Soccer League season.[12]

On 11 January 2022, the Red Stars announced that Nagasato would be returning to Chicago.[13]

In April 2004, Nagasato was selected Japan national team for 2004 Summer Olympics qualification. At this competition, on 22 April, she debuted against Thailand. She was also part of Japan's 2008 Summer Olympic team and 2007 World Cup.[15][16] Nagasato was part of the Japan squad that won the 2011 World Cup. She played as a substitute in the final against the United States. The game went to penalties and Nagasato had her penalty saved by Hope Solo, but Japan still emerged victorious.[17]

Since 2016, she wore the number 10 shirt for Japan, after Homare Sawa retired at 2016 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament.[18] After the tournament, new Japan's manager Asako Takakura gave the number 10 to Mizuho Sakaguchi and Nagasato wore the number 9.[19]
