Japan qualified for Athens 2004



Just Qualified for Athens 2004
True fever came back to the stadium.
Japan U23 won against UAE U23 by 3-0 in Tokyo and qualified the Asian Group B. These six series of matches were very exciting. Though exhausted UAE round, players grew up rapidly. Nobody dreamed Japan could win double to UAE, nor they won only one point from Bahrain. They brought back true excitement to the national team for the first time after 2002 Korea/Japan.
