To begin with, it is important to determine if Saso intends to represent Japan in future international meets like the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Based on this rule, Saso cannot represent Japan in 2024 but can play for the country in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. This leaves a question: Will Saso play for the Philippines at the 2024 Games? According to the IGF rule, Saso still has a window to represent the Philippines in the 2024 Games if she wanted to. That means there is a chance Saso can play for Japan in the 2024 Olympics pending clearance from the IGF and the International Olympic Committee.
