<Highlights of the match>

Japan won the away match against Australia on the 24th of this month 2-0 and decided to participate in the 7th consecutive World Cup.


In the final qualifying, Japan are the leaders of Group B with 21 points and 7 wins and 2 losses.

The difference in points between Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia is "1", and if Japan beats Vietnam, it will finish the final Asian qualifying round in 1st place.


The battle for 23 members has already begun for the tournament, which is approaching eight months later, and Director Moriyasu has indicated that he will significantly replace the starting lineup from the match against Australia on the 24th of this month.

In this match, it will be interesting to see how much the young athletes who participated in the Tokyo Olympics can appeal their presence.


In the offensive team, Kaoru Mitoma and 20-year-old Takefusa Kubo, who scored two points while participating in the match against Australia, are expected to be appointed as starting pitchers, and I would like to demonstrate their characteristics from the start.


In addition, it is also a point that Ayase Ueda and Yuta Nakayama can appeal in the position where veteran players have been regular in the final qualifying such as forward and left side back.
