The Legacy
Japan prepared for the 2002 World Cup by prioritizing competitive fixtures in 1999 under manager Philippe Troussier. Hidetoshi Nakata directed the midfield play, while Hiroshi Nanami and Masashi Nakayama provided the experience needed for a side transitioning into a new era of Asian football. This Adidas home shirt reflects a time when the squad focused on integrating young talent into the international setup.
