The official Japanese national team announced the squad to face Australia and Indonesia in the 2026 World Cup qualification. Of the 27 players called, there were seven debutant players! The majority came from the J1 League, the Japanese main league. Even though they have qualified for the finals with 20 points – far from Australia – Biru, still lower the competitive squad. Names like Zion Suzuki, Kamada, Kubo, and Wataru Endo are still on the list. But there are also some big names that are not called, such as Kaoru Mitoma, Ritsu Doan, Hiroki Ito, and Ayase Ueda. Japan will travel to Australia on June 5, then host Indonesia at home on June 10. With many new players, this fight is not just a matter of victory – but also a trial regeneration of the Samurai Biru squad. Is Indonesia able to steal points from Japan?
