Japan 1993 Home

The 1993 period was a defining moment for the Japan national team, as they competed in the qualification stages for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. Known as the “Agony of Doha,” Japan came close to qualifying for their first World Cup, but a last-minute goal by Iraq in the final qualification match dashed their hopes. Despite the heartbreak, this home shirt became iconic, worn by players like Kazuyoshi Miura and Masashi Nakayama, who fought valiantly throughout the campaign. This shirt is a symbol of Japan’s growing footballing ambitions and their determination to reach the global stage.
