Masakatsu Sawa (澤 昌克, Sawa Masakatsu, born January 12, 1983) is a Japanese nationalized Peruvian football player. He plays for Deportivo Municipal. His preferred position is as an attacking midfielder.
Career[]
On 13 September 2006, he became the first Japanese goalscorer in Copa Sudamericana, scoring 1 goal for Coronel Bolognesi against Chilean club Colo-Colo. After impressive performances for Coronel Bolognesi and Deportivo Municipal, he was offered to play for Peru national team. But he refused the offer because he did not want to lose Japanese nationality.[1] In July 2008, he joined Japanese club Kashiwa Reysol, located near his hometown, Moriya across the prefectural line.
Sawa was a Kashiwa Reysol player in the 2018 season but did never play a game for the club due to injuries. The club then announced on 11 January 2019, that the player had left the club by mutual consent.[2]
