According to the Japanese media "Yahoo Sports", the Japanese Football Association decided to place the home of the round of 12 from January to March next year at saitama Stadium, which includes the national football team's away match with Japan on January 27 next year. Saitama Stadium is a blessing for the Japanese team, which played the World Preliminary Tournament in 25 games, 21 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, with a winning percentage of more than 80%.
In the first 4 rounds of the round of 12, Japan lost to Oman, Saudi Arabia, defeated China and Australia, currently 2 wins and 2 losses with 6 points, temporarily out of the scope of direct promotion to the World Cup, coach Mori Hoichi's use of people and technical tactics have been questioned. Next, Japan has three more home games, namely January 27, 2022 against China, February 1 against Saudi Arabia, and March 29, 2022 against Vietnam.
According to Japanese media reports, the Japanese Football Association has decided to arrange all three home matches at Saitama Stadium. Saitama Stadium is home to J-League side Urawa Red Diamonds and is known as the home of the Asian Devils. The stadium served as the venue for the 2002 World Cup and can accommodate 63,000 people. Guangzhou team, harbor team and other players have played in Saitama sports many times, and the overall record is not ideal.
It is worth mentioning that Saitama Stadium can be described as a blessed place for the Japanese national team, and the team has achieved 25 wins, 21 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in the World Preliminary Tournament held at this stadium, with a winning rate of 84%. In the fourth round of this round of 12, the Japanese team defeated Australia 2-1 at Saitama Stadium and scored a valuable 3 points, which shows that it is very difficult for the national football team to grab points on the road.
However, Japanese fans are not very concerned about the location of the game, and the focus of discussion in the comments section is still coach Hoichi Mori. Some fans wrote: "This is indeed a stadium with good winning percentage and compatibility, but if Morihoichi continues to coach, it will be the same wherever he plays, and Saitama Stadium may be stained by Japan's eventual absence from the World Cup."
