Today, we would like to announce that Yuto NAGATOMO from our club has been selected for the SAMURAI BLUE (Japan national team) members participating in the 'FIFA World Cup 2026 Asian Second Qualifiers and AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027 Qualifiers' to be held in June 2024, as announced by the Japan Football Association (JFA).

□Yuto NAGATOMO Comment
"I am honored to be selected for the Japan national team again, following the last time."
Being selected for the Japan national team is not the end; I will fight to stand on the pitch and contribute through my play.
Right now, in Tokyo, we are engaged in a tough competition for positions, and we are able to sharpen each other in a good relationship with our rivals. In that competition, I have maintained a high spirit and high performance to surpass my teammates.
First, it is important to win the J-League match in front of us, and we will connect that to our activities with the Japan national team.
We appreciate your continued support for both the league matches and the Japan national team.
