The Japan national team became the first to qualify for the 2026 World Cup through the rigorous qualification process. In the Land of the Rising Sun, they are setting ambitious goals.
Details: As stated by Liverpool and Japan national team midfielder Wataru Endo, simply reaching the World Cup finals is not enough for him.
Quote: "As I mentioned when I was appointed the new captain, our goal is to win the World Cup. We have players who naturally aim to win the World Cup, who believe that winning or reaching the final is just the beginning. I am the same," Endo said, as quoted by Reuters.
Reminder: The highest achievement of the Japan national team in World Cups is reaching the Round of 16 in 2002, 2010, 2018, and 2022.
