As part of the “Empowering Women and Girls Through Sports Initiative,” the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team took to the soccer field with Japanese girls in Sendai, Japan on March 27. This clinic occurred in a region devastated by the 2011 earthquake and served as a way to inspire the area’s youth after a year of challenges. In addition to serving as a goodwill sports exchange, the activity underscored the U.S.’s commitment to Japan and the TOMODACHI Initiative.
