Brazil will play South Korea and Japan in friendly matches in October as part of their preparation for the 2026 World Cup, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said on Tuesday.

Japan, at the same time, was falling in love with football. The J-League (now J1 League) was founded in 1992, while, one year later, the country applied to co-host the 2002 World Cup with South Korea.

He made an ultra-long-term plan to win the World Cup, not the round of 16. The Japanese Football Association, which was trying to change with coach Zaccheroni, was a perfect match.

Featuring a host of J-League regulars, the current crop of Japanese starlets are aiming to go all the way at the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
