On the 3rd, the Japan Football Association (JFA) announced the members of the Japanese national team who will be competing in the East Asia E-1 Championship (7th to 16th) to be held in Chiba City from the 7th. Kawasaki Frontale forward Yamada Arata (25) and Vissel Kobe forward Miyashiro Daishiro (25) were selected for the first time. As this is not the International Match Day (IMD) set by the International Football Federation (FIFA), the club is not required to dispatch, so overseas players cannot be called up, so domestic players will take on the challenge. The company aims to discover new capabilities for the North and Central America World Cup, which is approaching a year later.

Japan national team manager Moriyasu Kazuichi (56) said, “I would like to take on the tournament in the hopes of winning the championship in a row. Of course, the players will be particular about the results, but I will be asking them to play on behalf of the J League as a representative of the J League, so I would like them to take on the pride of the J League to take on the battle with the pride of the J League.” They will face Hong Kong on the 8th, China on the 12th, and South Korea on the 15th.

〇…The allied duo of forward Miyashiro and forward Yamada have all been selected for the first time. A classmate who grew up in Kawasaki F's youth organization. Miyashiro, who was promoted to the top after graduating from high school, moved to Kobe last season and made a breakthrough, and Yamada, who returned to Kawasaki F through a university graduate, exploded with 19 points last season. They reunite on the national team's stage, as they go through different careers. Yamada nodded, “I was chosen and I was first curious to see if Daisho is there. We can both improve each other.” Miyashiro said with determination, “I will do my best to maximize my strengths.”
