[Oakland (USA) 5th (6th Japan time) = Sato Naruhito]The Japanese national team (17th in the FIFA ranking) will play a training match against the Mexico national team (13th in the 7th in the 6th). There was a bit of confusion over the kickoff time.

The announced match start time was 7pm on the 6th (11am on the 7th Japan time). However, the ceremony schedule distributed for media states that it will start at 6:30pm on the 6th (10:30am on the 7th).

In addition, the official stadium ticket website also kicks off at 6:30pm. When asked a member of the Mexican Football Federation whether the time was correct, he replied, “It's 7pm.” When asked why it was set 30 minutes earlier, he smiled and explained, “Even if this person writes exactly when it's kick-off, they won't get together at that time, so I write it early.”

According to Mexican media, tickets for the match are on the verge of selling out. “According to the Mexican Football Federation, 40,000 tickets sold at the stadium have already sold out 45,000 tickets, meaning the game is expected to be packed, which is rare in Mexico's recent games in the US,” Estadio Deportes reported on the 3rd. It is said that many Hispanics live near the venue, the Auckland Coliseum, and it is expected that Japan will be completely away. The Mexican Football Federation was also working hard to make sure that supporters gathered at the start of the game and created a home atmosphere.
