The Legacy

Japan qualified for the 2014 World Cup under manager Alberto Zaccheroni during this period. Keisuke Honda and Shinji Kagawa anchored a creative midfield, while Makoto Hasebe provided stability as captain. Yuto Nagatomo offered pace and width on the flank during these qualifying matches. Adidas produced this home shirt as the side continued to play a possession-based style of football on the international stage.

Key Moment

Japan became the first team to qualify for the 2014 World Cup, sealing their place with a 1-1 draw against Australia in Saitama on 4 June 2013 via a late Keisuke Honda penalty.
