Liverpool Women Represented at the 2021 Women’s World Cup
The 2021 Women’s World Cup is set to be a momentous occasion for Liverpool Women, with two of their players representing their respective countries in the tournament. Niamh Fahey has been selected for Ireland’s squad, while Fuka Nagano will be playing for Japan. Both players will be looking to make an impact in the tournament, which is taking place in Australia and New Zealand.
Liverpool Captain Niamh Fahey Selected for Ireland
Liverpool captain, Niamh Fahey, has been selected in Ireland’s squad for their history-making appearance in the competition. The Republic of Ireland qualified for their first major tournament after finishing runners-up in their World Cup qualifying group, locking in a trip to Australia and New Zealand. Fahey has been at the heart of Ireland’s defence and will face a stern challenge in helping her team reach the knockout stages from Group B, which includes co-hosts Australia, Canada and Nigeria.
Fuka Nagano Selected for Japan
Midfielder Fuka Nagano has also been selected to represent her country at the Women’s World Cup. Nagano joined the Reds in January and has proved an exciting addition to the Reds’ midfield, and she is expected to be a key cog for her country this summer. There are high expectations for Japan, who will be eager to improve on their round of 16 finish in the last edition of the competition in 2019. Nagano’s side will meet Zambia, Costa Rica and Spain in Group C. Liverpool’s two representatives will only meet if they make it to either the final or the third-place playoff.

Japan, meanwhile, will be based in New Zealand for the group stages:
