The Japan Football Association has previously set a “2050 Plan,” stating that the Japanese national team aims to win the 2050 World Cup. However, in a recent interview with the Yomiuri Shimbun, Japan national team manager Hajime Moriyasu said that the Japanese team could achieve this goal ahead of schedule.
Moriyasu said: “The FA has set a goal of winning the 2050 World Cup, but (the last) World Cup made me think Japan has the ability to win the World Cup. In this case, I think we don’t need to wait until 2050. We should make it our goal for the next World Cup, that’s my thought, so I was really happy when the players said that.
Of course, I understand this goal is not easy. However, we have been fighting and I think the team has a chance (to achieve it). The team’s current priority is to win and with that as the focus, we will work to develop the team step by step.”
