New Japanese football jersey

The Japanese national football squad will premier its new colours at the Nelson Mandela stadium in Port Elizabeth, tomorrow, Saturday 14 November 2009 in a friendly against Bafana Bafana.

Port Elizabeth's brand new 50 000-seat stadium will host its first match, a friendly between Bafana Bafana and Okada Japan, at which Japan's new blue uniform will be worn for the first time.

South African Tourism Japan country manager, Bradley Brouwer, said: "It is a great honour that Port Elizabeth's wonderful new stadium, named after our first democratically elected president, has been chosen to premier the Japanese football teams' new colours. I would like to join the Japanese team and their supporters in a big cheer for their wonderful new Samurai blue jerseys.”
