Age is just a number! Japanese football star Tomora Miura, 56, has extended his contract with Olivirens for another year

Japanese football star Tomora Miura (56), known for his current Japanese oldest professional footballer, extended his loan to Olivélens in the Portuguese professional football second division by 1 year. On the 11th (local time), Olivirens announced through the club SNS: "Miura Chira will continue to be with Olivirens. And left a message in Japanese: "Miura Chira, please take care of this season." ”

The 56-year-old Japanese legend continues to play in the European Pro League and renews his contract for another year

Japanese media also reported: "Miura Chira will travel to Portugal this weekend for a medical examination on the premise of a long-term transfer with Oliver Lens." The rental period is until 30 June 2024. ”

Born in February 1967, Olivirens is a 56-year-old Japanese football legend who played as a striker for the Japan national football team from 1990 to 2000, playing 89 A-class matches and scoring 55 goals.

Olivelens confirmed on social media that Miura will continue to play for the team

Miura's professional career began with Santos Brazil in 1986, before the establishment of Japan's J-League (1993), and this year marks its 38th year. Tomoka Miura, who belongs to Yokohama FC, surprised fans by signing a six-month loan deal with Olivilens in the Portuguese Second Division in February to enter the European arena.

In the final game of last season, Miura played only 20 minutes, but he won the captain's armband and the best of the year

Miura, who failed to score in just three games off the bench last season, has been practicing personally at Yokohama FC since returning to Japan in May, and the extension of his loan contract has allowed him to continue his active career at Olivelens for another year. Olivirens finished 10th out of 18 teams in the Portuguese Second Division last season.
