According to Japanese media, in order to facilitate better preparation for the World Cup qualifiers, the Japanese Football Association will arrange chartered flights to shuttle the Japanese team to and from Saudi Arabia.
In the first match of the third round against China, Japanese players based in Europe returned to Japan on a chartered flight. They stated that this method allows them to quickly rejoin the national team, alleviating travel fatigue and enhancing tactical sharing. Based on the positive results from this approach previously, Yasuo Yamamoto, the director of the Japanese national team, said that they would continue with the chartered flight arrangement: “Players based in Europe will take a chartered flight to Saudi Arabia, and due to the importance of the time before the second match against Australia, we are also preparing to take a chartered flight back to Japan from Saudi Arabia to start training as soon as possible.”
While checking the condition of the players and their tactics on the field is crucial, a relatively comfortable environment has also been prepared this time thanks to the cooperation between the Japanese Football Association and its sponsors.
