Following the postponement of the match between Japan and Myanmar in the second Asian qualifying round of the World Cup soccer scheduled for March 25, the Japanese national team will play a warm-up match with South Korea on the same day.
The Japanese national soccer team was originally scheduled to play against Myanmar in the World Cup Qatar tournament and the second Asian qualifying round on March 25, but it was postponed due to an offer from the Myanmar side when a coup d'etat by the military occurred in the country. It was decided.
In response to this, the Japan Football Association announced on the 10th that it will play a warm-up game against South Korea at the Nissan Stadium in Yokohama City on the same night of the 25th.
Koji Sorimachi, technical committee chairman of the Japan Football Association, said, "I would like to include spectators in the match that will be held after the state of emergency is lifted. I want to make maximum preparations and efforts not only at the ground level but also in the surrounding environment. Immediately after We are preparing for the second Asian qualifying match against Mongolia, so I would like to fight with the best members, including the players who will play in Europe. "
The results of the last five games between Japan and South Korea are 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw.
