As one of the original proponents of powerchair football, Japan has a rich history in the sport spanning over three decades. The Japanese team, easily recognizable in their royal blue kits, have always brought a formidable blend of technical skill and robust determination to every match they play. They remain one of the enduring pillars of powerchair football and take to the court with a palpable sense of pride. As we look forward to 2023, the question on everyone's mind is whether Japan can reclaim a spot in the top 4. With their deep-rooted experience and characteristic tenacity, they're certainly a team to watch.
