Soccer World Cup 2nd round qualifiers Japan will play against Syria at the new Hiroshima stadium in June. This will be the first time that a match for the Japanese national team will be held at Hiroshima's new stadium.
It has been 20 years since the team played against the Slovakian national team at Hiroshima Big Arch in 2017. The Japan Football Association has announced that their home match against Syria will be played at the Edion Peace Wing Hiroshima, a soccer-only stadium in Hiroshima City.
