Japan is serious about winning an international competition in Korea 메이저놀이터. Coach Harjime Moriyasu (57) has revealed the blueprint of the upcoming competition in July.
According to a report by the Japanese media "Sports Hochi" on Monday, Moriyasu revealed his plans for the East Asian Football Confederation (EAFF) E-1 Football Championship to be held in Korea in July. For the upcoming championship, which is mostly attended by domestic players, Moriyasu said, "I will ask the club to convene overseas players."
Japan is the EAFF E-1 defending champion. It won the 2022 tournament in its own country. The 2025 event will be held in Korea from July 7 to 16. South Korea, Japan, China, and Hong Kong will determine the winners through a round robin.
Moriyasu aims to regain the top spot for the EAFF E-1 consecutive times. "Coach Moriyasu visited a J-League match between Yokohama F. Marinos and Tokyo Verdi. He will decide on the final list after watching many J-League matches. He is expected to increase the number of players he will play in for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North Korea and the U.S.," said Sports Hochi.
However, the EAFF E-1 tournament is not hosted by FIFA. The club has no obligation to select a player. "As it is not an A-match period, it will be difficult to call in players from overseas. We expect to call in players from domestic leagues," Moriyasu said. "However, there are many players from overseas. For the sake of the North Korea-China World Cup, we could ask the team to call in for the upcoming EAFF E-1."
Korea is expected to participate in the EAFF E-1 tournament, which marks the 10th anniversary under Hong Myung-bo (56). Korea has become the most winners (2003, 2008, 2015, 2017, 2019). Japan won the title twice, in 2013 and 2022. Notably, Japan, led by Moriyasu at the previous tournament, crushed Korea under Paulo Bento (56) in the third match of the E-1 championship, winning the title with two wins and one draw.
