Japan has participated in the FIFA World Cup nine times since its inception in 1930. Here are some key points about Japan's World Cup record:
Japan made its World Cup debut in 1998, which was also the first time the tournament was hosted in Asia (France). Japan did not win any matches and was eliminated in the group stage.
Japan's best performance in the World Cup came in 2002 when they co-hosted the tournament with South Korea. Japan reached the round of 16 for the first time in its history, defeating Russia and Tunisia in the group stage, before losing to Turkey in the knockout stage.
Japan has qualified for every World Cup since 1998, with the exception of the 2018 tournament in Russia. Japan failed to qualify for the tournament for the first time in over a decade.
In total, Japan has played 26 matches in the World Cup, winning 4, drawing 6, and losing 16. They have scored 14 goals and conceded 41.
Japan's head coach at the 2022 World Cup will be Hajime Moriyasu, who took over the national team in 2018. Moriyasu led Japan to the round of 16 at the 2018 Asian Cup and secured their qualification to the 2022 World Cup with four wins and two draws in the final round of qualifying.
