Jubilo Iwata have confirmed that J.League Female Manager Miki Sato will appear for Saturday’s game against Fagiano Okayama.

Sato will perform the “Kick In” ceremony at Yamaha Stadium, and has also scheduled to participate in several promotional events prior to the game.

The 21-year-old has already travelled to several matches around Japan since being appointed, helping to raise awareness of the J.league’s aims to further the sport.

Meanwhile, resurgent Jubilo are hoping to extend their lead at the top of the MEIJI YASUDA J2 League this weekend when they host sixth-placed Fagiano.
