Japan's men's national football team officially departed for Mexico on Tuesday (local time) to begin their pre-World Cup training camp, a crucial preparatory step before the team enters the world's biggest tournament.
During this trip, midfielder Daichi Kamada managed to join his teammates, thus completing the 26-player squad called up by head coach Hajime Moriyasu. Kamada is one of the key offensive players for Japan, having delivered impressive performances in previous international competitions.
According to the plan, the Japan national team will train and play friendly matches in Mexico to adapt to the weather conditions, time zone, and playing styles of potential World Cup opponents. Coach Moriyasu emphasized that the camp's goal is to help players achieve peak physical condition while fine-tuning tactics ahead of the tournament.
Japan will spend about two weeks training in Mexico before moving to the venue for the official World Cup matches. Japanese football fans are highly anticipating a good result from the team, following recent successes.
