Japan - 2026 FIFA World Cup

Japan have been one of the most exciting teams to watch in recent World Cups, toppling Spain and Germany in 2022 with their stunning pressing game and technical quality throughout the squad. Group F puts them up against the Netherlands, Sweden, and Tunisia starting June 14, another bracket where they are capable of pulling off major upsets. Takumi Minamino and a deep squad of Bundesliga regulars make the Samurai Blue a genuine threat.
