On August 20th, the Asian Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup will kick off in September. The Chinese National Team will face Japan away on September 5th at 6:35 PM. Japanese media outlet “Tokyo Sports” reported that the Japanese national team is expected to assemble two days before the World Cup qualifiers, but they need to be cautious about China’s two-week training camp.
It is reported that Ivan is planning to call up players as soon as possible to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers. The final roster is expected to be announced as early as the 21st, and the Chinese national team will begin training this weekend.
In response, “Tokyo Sports” reported that in the first round of the Asian Qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup, the Japanese team, with most of its main players from European clubs, was unable to play the first game due to long-distance travel, jet lag, and weather changes. Despite playing at home against the weaker Oman team, Japan suffered an unexpected loss. At that time, the Oman coach was Ivankovic. This time, the Japanese national team is expected to assemble around two days before the game. However, the Chinese team has been training for two weeks prior to the match, aiming to cause trouble for Japan away from home, which is something that needs to be watched out for.
