The Japanese national soccer team is slowly forming the framework for the October A match.

On the afternoon of the 7th, the Japan Football Association (JFA) announced that they would face Tunisia in a friendly A-match scheduled for October 17th at Noevia Stadium in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture. Hajime Moriyasu, head coach of the Japan national soccer team, said, “We faced Tunisia last year. They are physically tough, and their strikers have both speed and decisiveness. This is a world-class team.”메이저놀이터

“I will be able to gain a good experience ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup United Asia 2nd qualifying round starting in November. I will aim to win against difficult opponents,” he expressed his desire to compete.

As Moriyas himself mentioned, Tunisia faced Japan in June of last year. Japan suffered a crushing defeat in the match against Tunisia, 0-3. In Japan’s situation, it is a revenge war.

Japan has already confirmed the upcoming 2nd A match in September. After playing against Germany in Wolfsburg on September 9, they will move to Genk, Belgium, to play against Turkey on the 12th. During the October A-match period, two matches are scheduled, and the latter match is against Tunisia. Japan plans to play an A match in Niigata on October 13th.
