83-year-old Japanese football player proves age is just a number

Mutsuhiko Nomura's football career has spanned 18 World Cups, or 70 years. Now the silver-maned former Japanese national team player is a member of the brand new over-80 division of Tokyo's Soccer For Life (SFL) league, which played its first match on April 12, 2023. The sprightly 83-year-old and his teammates are among a growing number of seniors pushing the boundaries of active living in Japan, one of the world's fastest-greying societies.
