View source for User talk:Son Heung-min will play in Japan in July…Tottenham Confirms Japan Tour After 33 Years

"Captain" Son Heung-min leads Tottenham Hotspur to Japan.

Tottenham announced on its website that it will visit Japan as part of its pre-season tour this summer. It is scheduled for a friendly match against Vissel Kobe, the champion of the J1 League, to be held at the National Stadium in Tokyo on July 27.

Tottenham is preparing for the season in Asia for the third consecutive year. Having visited Korea in 2022 to confirm the enthusiastic love of its fans, Tottenham launched promotions in Thailand and Singapore after visiting Australia last year. This summer, it selected Japan as its travel destination, showing sincerity in marketing aimed at the Asian market.

It has been 33 years since the team visited Japan. According to Tottenham's news, it was their first visit to Japan in 1971 and they played three friendly matches with the Japanese All-Star. And they have not had any friendship since Tottenham took part in the 1991 Giraffe Cup hosted by Japan, which won the FA Cup.

This is the first time that Son Heung-min, who has played for Tottenham since 2015, has stood in front of Japanese fans wearing a Tottenham uniform. As Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) and Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) visited Japan last year and attracted great interest, it is expected that Son Heung-min, the pride of Asian soccer, will also show considerable affection.

"Our players will have a very important time in Tokyo, enjoying Japanese culture and interacting with their fans," Tottenham said. "Coaches will share their training methods with the Tottenham Academy through technical programs and coaching training workshops for young Japanese players. There will be time," he added.

With Tottenham confirming its visit to Japan, it will be a meaningful time for Angus Postecoglou. Postecoglou rose to the top of the J1 League from January 2018 to June 2021 while coaching the Yokohama F. Marinos. After playing for Celtic, he took charge of Tottenham.

Postecoglou said, "I am happy to lead Tottenham to Japan this summer and have an exciting match against Kobe. This friendly match could be another step in preparation for the 2024-25 season." He added, "Japan is the team that I will be managing." "I know very well that Japanese fans are passionate, so I hope the players will be able to feel the good culture of Japan."

Tottenham's pre-season plans are revealed one after another. Last month, Tottenham announced its summer game against Bayern Munich. The match between Tottenham and Bayern Munich, prepared by Harry Kane's transfer, will be held on August 11 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.

Tottenham sees this game as the Kane Derby. Kane was the best striker responsible for Tottenham's goals. He played 430 games and scored 278 goals for Tottenham alone. He was the club's top scorer and had the speed to target the most goals in the Premier League.
