Japan to face Brazil in Singapore international friendly on November 14

Japan will meet Brazil in an international friendly at the Singapore National Stadium on November 14, the fixture bringing together the Samurai Blue and the five-time world champions.

Japan arrive unbeaten in their last four friendly outings and beat New Zealand 2-1 in their most recent match; the team have built strong momentum following the 2026 FIFA World Cup and will be confident for this encounter. Hajime Moriyasu’s side are noted as capable of establishing control in the game but are cautioned against giving the ball away to their opponents.

Brazil have also preserved an unbeaten run following their underwhelming World Cup campaign, playing two friendlies against Australia — a 1-1 draw in the first and a 4-2 victory in the second — before recording a 4-0 win against India. Carlo Ancelotti leads the Brazil side, who are travelling for this fixture and whose strong squad quality is described as their principal asset.

The Eintracht Frankfurt man is singled out as able to help Japan both in midfield and in attack, able to establish midfield control and to run down the right flank with pace. Ritsu Doan was one of the scorers for Japan against New Zealand and will be looking to add to his tally. For Brazil, Raphinha is described as being in a sensational run of form for FC Barcelona; he can operate on the left wing or as a striker and is noted as a constant threat at 29 years old.

All of the selected squad members for both Japan and Brazil are listed as ready for action. Japan: Zion Suzuki (GK); Nakano, Seko, Ito, Junosuke Suzuki; Sano, Kamada; Doan, Kubo, Nakamura; Maeda. Brazil: Morisco (GK); Vanderson, Jair Cunha, Gabriel, Wesley; Guimaraes, Danilo Santos; Rayan, Bontempo, Vini Jr, Raphinha.
