On June 10, coach Hajime Moriyasu and his team crushed Indonesia 6-0, despite not using many players currently playing in Europe. Against Indonesia's excited naturalized players after their victory over China, Japan still won easily despite fielding many reserve players.
After two matches in the third qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup, Japan showed their superior strength against Indonesia with a total score of 10-0. In the second leg, the visiting team Indonesia did not even have a single shot.
Including the third qualifying round, Japan also has the best points and goal difference. The team earned 23 points after 10 matches in Group C, surpassing Iran (21 points) and South Korea (22 points), the two teams leading Groups A and B respectively.
In terms of goal difference, Japan scored 30 goals and conceded only 3, a very impressive achievement. Coach Moriyasu and his team have an overwhelming attack compared to the top Asian teams such as Qatar (24 goals), South Korea (20), Iran (16), Uzbekistan (14) and Saudi Arabia (6).
In March, Japan beat Bahrain 2-0, thereby becoming the first team to secure a place at the 2026 World Cup, excluding the three host countries.
Coach Moriyasu has a squad of top players playing in Europe such as Wataru Endo, Takefusa Kubo, Takumi Minamino, Daizen Maeda, Kaoru Mitoma and Ritsu Doan. The proven talent and international experience of this group of players have helped Japan become a force that is hard to beat in Asia and the world .
