Toyota Stadium will be the centre of attention when Japan and Ghana face each other in Friday’s Kirin Cup clash. The Samurai Blue did well to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals and they are now on a quest to prepare for the next year’s showpiece tournament in the best way possible. Japan boss Hajime Moriyasu has a number of high-profile players to choose from, including captain Wataru Endo (Liverpool), Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad), Daichi Kamada (Crystal Palace), and Takumi Minamino (Monaco).
As a result, the hosts are seen as hot favourites to win Friday’s friendly. The Black Stars, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run ahead of the trip to Toyota, but given the number of top-class players in the home team, we are tempted to bet on the Samurai Blue. The bad news for the African side is that Athletic Bilbao ace Inaki Williams has been ruled out with injury.
This match will be played on Friday 14 November 2025 at 10:20.
