Japan

The Japanese national soccer team is on a roll! They’ve got some impressive feats, like beating Colombia 2-1 in the 2018 World Cup, making them the first Asian team to take down a South American powerhouse. They’ve been to the World Cup six times since their debut in 1998. Talk about dedication!

The Samurai Blue were ranked 24th in the world in 2022 and determined to show their mettle in Qatar during the 2022 FIFA World Cup event. With fans’ unwavering support like the girl flaunting her country’s hues, Japan’s luck just ran out, falling short in the round of 16.
