Japan World Cup History and Achievements

World Cup Appearances: Japan (7): 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022

Best Finish: Round of 16 (2002, 2010, 2018, 2022)

Japan has been a regular fixture at the FIFA World Cup since making their debut in 1998. The Samurai Blue have qualified for seven consecutive tournaments and consistently showcased technical, disciplined football.

Co-hosting the 2002 FIFA World Cup with South Korea marked a breakthrough for Japan. Japan advanced to the Round of 16 on home soil, inspiring a generation and cementing their position in global football. That campaign changed Japanese football and lit the fire for a generation of stars now shining in Europe.

At Qatar 2022, Japan showed they remain a rising force. The Samurai Blue defeated Germany and Spain (both 2x champions) in a famous group stage run before falling — once again — in the last 16 on penalties (to Croatia). However, those twin upsets proved Japan are no longer minnows. They possess a golden generation for World Cup 2026 capable of finally reaching the next level.

With stars at Real Madrid, Liverpool, Arsenal, Brighton, and all over the Bundesliga, this is the strongest Japanese World Cup squad ever assembled.

Group Stage Tickets

The earliest — and most likely cheapest — way to buy Japan World Cup tickets will be at the group stage. Most seats will be in the sections:

Behind the goal — Most common World Cup seating area for the lowest prices. Ranges from lower tier to higher tier behind goal. Fun vibe with great Japanese fan organization and respect.
Sidelines — Most common World Cup seating for the highest ticket prices. Ranges from lower tier to higher tier along the side. Epic view from the middle but premium pricing. Perfect angle to see Mitoma's dribbling.
Suites — Most common World Cup ticket suite options with hospitality. Includes luxury suites, suites tickets, and lounge access with included catering or food.

Knockout Tickets

Like the group games, your Japanese World Cup tickets will come marked for which stadium section. Typically the least expensive knockout ticket is behind the goal. The most expensive knockout ticket is in a luxury suite. Then there are the sides and behind-the-goal in between.

Japan group matches ticket price will likely be less than knockout stage ticket price. Especially Japan quarterfinal tickets, semifinals tickets, and World Cup Final tickets are high competition with very high pricing. The best option is to back Japan in group games, and check back with your rep for Japan tickets again in the latter rounds.

Conditionality Disclaimer: To understand conditionality, if purchasing Japan in the quarterfinal please note that cannot be activated until the group stages finish. Of the 48 nations in the competition, including Japan, only 32 will advance through groups. If Japan are eliminated in the World Cup group games, then prompt refund. If Japan advance to World Cup knockout rounds, it will trigger your quarterfinal position on the waiting list (or round of 32, round of 16, etc). Till then, all Japan World Cup tickets for knockouts are considered conditional. Your ticket is always locked in for Japan — the rest of the details depend on FIFA scheduling of the matches, for which stadium, what time, etc.
