The day before the notice of separation with Matsuyama Nami after the 2025 World Championship, the player Shida Chiharu had another important notice. However, instead of sharing on the Instagram page, she mentioned it on a website that is more privacy than Twitter.
According to Shida personally, after 4 years of holding the captain of Kumamoto Saishunkan Club, she is no longer the captain of this badminton. The captain's position belongs to Kanehiro Miki, a young player born in 2002. The best achievement of Kanehiro is the Indonesian champion of Indonesian Challenge 2024.
“Basically, there is no official announcement from the club. It's difficult to understand this, but according to the team information, starting from the beginning of this year, Kanehiro has been the captain. I have the honor to be the club captain in the past 4 years and reap a lot of experience, hope everyone will continue to support the team,” Shida shared.
From the information mentioned in recent years, we can see, this player is currently in difficult situation. Her aspiration is to become the world's No. 1 player, even winning the Olympic gold medal. However, Shida and Matsuyama did not do it in Paris, where Matsuyama admitted that they had played their best.
The main reason why Shida and Matsuyama split is because they have different goals. However, Shida's decision seemed to make her receive some disadvantages, including losing the captain's armband. The possibility of Shida joining a new club in the future is also possible.
