The soccer World Cup Qatar tournament will start in November this year.
The Japanese national team will aim to qualify for the final Asian qualifying round, which will resume later this month, in order to reach the record-high best 8 goal.
The soccer World Cup Qatar tournament will start on November 21st, and Japan, aiming to participate in seven consecutive tournaments, has finished six games so far in Group B of the Asian final qualifying and has a record of 4 wins and 2 losses. I'm in the rank.
Of the remaining four games, Saudi Arabia, the leader of the group, will be at home on the 1st of next month, and Australia, the third of the group, will be played away on the 24th of March.
Whether or not you can stay in second place in the group where you can qualify unconditionally, losing to Saudi Arabia and beating Australia in the previous match, the result of the match with these two teams will be an important point. ..
In addition, this World Cup will be held from November to December for the first time in consideration of the severe heat of the Middle East, so even if participation is decided, it will be difficult to adjust for the tournament.
Since the European league will hit during the season in November, it is not expected that the pre-camp will be held as before.
For this reason, the Japan Football Association wants to organize a warm-up game from the end of May to the middle of June and from the middle of September to the end of September when the national team can be active.
Japan has advanced to the final tournament three times in the World Cup so far, but all of them lost in the first round and finished in the best 16.
Coach Hajime Moriyasu is aiming for a record high of 8 or higher in the Qatar tournament, and it seems that the key will be how much the players can cooperate in a limited period of time.
