You may have noticed that Japanese footballers have become quite popular in the world of football lately. In the past, only a few Japanese players made it to the European leagues, but now, Japanese players are widely represented in almost every league. In the 2010 World Cup, only 4 players from Japan played abroad, but in the 2022 Qatar

World Cup, only 6 of the 26 players representing Japan were domestic players, while the remaining 20 players were foreign players. Those 20 players were players from leagues in France, Scotland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Poland, the United States, England, Portugal, Belgium, and Germany.

It is a fact that the quality of Japanese football has improved over time. The level of Japanese football has improved, with the last time they played in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, they were able to beat the big European teams, Germany and Spain. Japan's J-League is one of the most watched leagues in Asia by other leagues. There is a reason why Japanese players have shone on the European stage. One of the main sources of Japanese players to reach the European stage is a mid-tier team in the Belgian league, SINT-TRUIDENSE V.V.

Japanese billionaire Keishi Kameyama bought a mid-tier team, SINT-TRUIDENSE V.V., in 2017, and introduced many Japanese players to European clubs. There are also player scouts in the Japanese J-League, and there are two Premier League clubs that are the main scouts for the Japanese J-League. The two teams are Southampton and Manchester United. Recently, many Japanese players have gradually grown up in the lineups of the top European teams. Tomiyasu, Ando and Mitoma are the main players of the team and are the Japanese stars who have gradually shone in Europe.

Many Japanese players have played in the Belgian and Polish leagues. Japan is focusing on improving the quality of its football. Many Japanese teams are changing from the bottom up to ensure that their players are up to par in order to penetrate Europe. School football matches, TV shows, and football training schools have been opened to improve the scale of football. In this way, children can be instilled with a passion for football and some football skills from a young age. Because they want to improve the quality of football, the changes have been made from the bottom up.

As a result of the changes that Japan has made, it is a matter of course that Japanese players are now shining on the European football stage, and that the Japanese national football team is improving year after year. I would like to end this here. Thank you to everyone who has watched this to the end.
