As co-hosts of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, Japan impressed on home soil by advancing past the group stage for the first time in the nation's history. They topped their group after a 2-2 draw with Belgium, a 1-0 victory over Russia, and a 2-0 win against Tunisia. The team's journey ended in the Round of 16 with a narrow 1-0 loss to Turkey.
Key Players
The squad was managed by French coach Philippe Troussier. Key players for the Samurai Blue during the tournament included Hidetoshi Nakata, who wore the number 7 shirt, alongside Junichi Inamoto, Shinji Ono, and defender Tsuneyasu Miyamoto.
This is a pre-owned authentic vintage item. All kits sold at The Kit Dealer are carefully verified by our in-house authentication team, washed, and treated - unless clearly listed as brand new with tags.
Our processing time for orders is typically 1–3 business days. We offer express shipping for domestic orders within Australia and optional express shipping for international customers.
Your satisfaction is our priority, and we take care to ensure your shirts arrive in top condition.
Old size labels lie. A 1996 large is not a 2026 large, and years of washing move the numbers again. So we don't print a one-size-fits-all chart on vintage shirts — we measure the shirt itself.
Ask below and our store staff will take this exact shirt off the rail, lay it flat and email you the real numbers, normally within 24 hours.
Chest — pit to pit, laid flat
Length — collar seam to hem
Sleeve, shoulder, or anything else you want checked
