Imagine… you are at the peak of your career as captain of the national team, leading your country’s golden generation to the World Cup, but have to be absent and immediately retire from the national team. That is what is now being experienced by Wataru Endo, captain of the Japanese national team. Not just withdrawing from the 2026 World Cup due to a left foot injury, Endo officially announced his complete retirement from the Japanese national team! In a sad farewell message, Endo admitted he was frustrated, but he left with his head held high. He said: ‘I did everything I possibly could to get to this point, so I have no regrets.’ Endo feels that it is his duty to lead the Blue Samurai since the Qatar World Cup has finished. For him, now is the right time to step off the stage, pass the baton to the young players, and move on to become Japan’s number one supporter in the stands. #shortsvideo #football #football #beritabola #infobola #shortsyoutube #updatebola #footballshort #worldcup #pialadunia #pialadunia2026
