Yamada heads to Portugal’s Nacional

Kuala Lumpur: Japanese winger Fuki Yamada was unveiled by Nacional on Tuesday after he joined the Portuguese club on a six-month loan deal from Kyoto Sanga.
This is the second successive loan stint for Yamada as he featured for Tokyo Verdy in the 2024 J1 League season where he made 23 appearances and scored five goals as Verdy finished sixth in the standings.
The 23-year-old was a key component of the Japan side that won the AFC U23 Asian Cup™ Qatar 2024 last May.

Yamada is best remembered for coming off the bench to score a stoppage time winner against Uzbekistan in the final.

He joins a Nacional side currently 17th in the Primeira Liga, with their next match against FC Porto on Jan 16.
