semifinals
The Japanese media, Nikkan Sports, said that the JFA has decided to extend the contract of 54-year-old Mori Koichi for another two years.
It is reported that the Japanese FA will formally renew Morihiro Ichi's contract in January next year, and there is a special clause in the contract that if the team's performance meets the standard, the two sides can renew the contract until after the final week of the next 2026 World Cup, and one of the reference standards for the performance is the Asian Cup to be held next year.
In addition, Mori may make a change to the Japanese defense, with 34-year-old center back Yoshida Maya and 36-year-old left back Nagatomo Yuto possibly out of the lineup
