Japan 2006 Home Kit (L)

The Japan 2006 jersey represents a season of ambition and hope as the Japanese national team competed in the FIFA World Cup in Germany. Under manager Zico, Japan entered the tournament with a squad full of exciting talent, including players like Shunsuke Nakamura, Hidetoshi Nakata, and Keiji Tamada.
