Where to Watch Japan vs Iceland, Live Stream and Broadcast Information

Summary

  • Japan will be facing Iceland for a friendly as part of their preparations for the upcoming USA World Cup.
  • The two teams last faced each other in 2012.
  • Iceland failed to qualify for the World Cup for the second time in a row after 2022.

Japan are gearing up for the upcoming World Cup in full force, as they are set to play a friendly in what is termed as the Kirin Challenge Cup, with Iceland at the MUFG Stadium in Tokyo.

The Blue Samurai will be playing only one scheduled friendly encounter, unlike the other teams, which are playing two or three games to set up their preparation for the global gathering event in the USA.

The Japan national football team has been a constant presence in the World Cups after their debacle in 1994, which was the last time they failed to qualify for the greatest footballing competition in the world.

They always bring that element of surprise to the game, even giving the so-called ‘big teams’ a run for their money, just like they did with Belgium in 2018. In the previous World Cup, they topped their group ahead of Spain and Germany, which shows the amount of talent and determination they have in their bag.

The Iceland national football team, on the other hand, have had a massive fall from grace. From a dreamy UEFA Euro campaign in 2016 to their first World Cup appearance in 2018, the Strákarnir okkar have gone down massively in recent years.

As their effort towards a return to glory continues, they will face a high-spirited Japan side, who are unbeaten in their last five games. Meanwhile, Iceland have won just one out of their last five games, which came against Azerbaijan way back in November last year.

This would mark the third meeting between the two sides, having previously played twice, where the Blue Samurai were the victors on both occasions. For the complete head to head record, click here.
