Early life

[edit]

Miyazawa was born in Minamiashigara on 28 November 1999. She was introduced to football at the age of three by her older brother, Keita.[2]

Club career

[edit]

After graduating from high school, Miyazawa joined Tokyo Verdy Beleza in 2018. She received the Best Young Player Award in the 2018 Nadeshiko League season.[3] She transferred to Mynavi Sendai before the start of the inaugural WE League season in 2021.[4]

On 6 September 2023, Miyazawa signed for Manchester United.[5] On 7 September, she was nominated as one of 30 candidates for the Women's Ballon d'Or Féminin.[6] She earned her first start for United in the match against Leicester City on matchday 3, and recorded her first assist in the match against West Ham United on matchday 6. On 26 November, she scored her first goal for the club, opening the scoring in the 5th minute of the second half against Bristol City.[7][8]

International career

[edit]

In September 2016, Miyazawa was selected to join the Japan U-17 national team for the 2016 U-17 World Cup.[9] She played in all six matches of the tournament, where Japan were the runners-up. In August 2018, she was selected to represent Japan on the Japan U20 national team for the 2018 U-20 World Cup.[10] She played all six matches. In the final against Spain, she scored an opening goal and Japan won the championship.[11]

On 11 November 2018, she debuted for Japan's national team against Norway.[12]

On 13 June 2023, she was included in the 23-player squad for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023.[13]

On 22 July 2023, at the FIFA Women's World Cup, Miyazawa contributed to a 5–0 victory over Zambia by scoring the first goal and the third goal, and was named Player of the Match.[14] She also had the best average speed in the match.[15] On July 31, Miyazawa scored twice in Japan's match against Spain.[16] She also assisted Riko Ueki's goal in the same match.[17]

On 8 August 2023, she induced an own goal by Norway in the first round of 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup knockout stage. She scored a decisive third goal just before the end of the game and helped Japan advance to the quarterfinals for the first time in two tournaments. She was awarded the VISA Player of the Match for the third time.

Miyazawa scored five goals overall, winning the tournament's Golden Boot[1] and also equaling the goal tally of Golden Boot winner Homare Sawa at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.

On December 3, 2024 she reached the 98th place on The Guardian's vote of top 100 women footballers in the world for 2024.[18]
