FC Ryukyu have announced that forward Hayato Asakawa has welcomed his first child.
Asakawa commented through the club:
“On 2 November, my wife and I welcomed our first child, a baby girl. First of all, I'm deeply grateful to my wife for carrying our daughter safely through pregnancy and bringing her into the world, and to our daughter for coming into our lives. I'm also deeply grateful to manager Hirakawa and everyone at the club for their support, which made it possible for me to be there for the birth. I also want to thank my teammates for the wonderful cradle celebration in today's match. I hope to repay all that support by scoring plenty of goals.
“Our daughter was born here in Okinawa and will grow up here. I want to do my part to make Okinawa a better place for her future. As a member of FC Ryukyu, as an individual and as a father, I'll take on even greater responsibility and give everything I have for Okinawa, both on and off the pitch. Let's keep fighting together!”
