FIFA World Cup: Wataru Endo said Japan can win the FIFA World Cup 2026 after becoming the first team to qualify and the Liverpool ace urged fans to buy into the ambitious target.

Japan beat Bahrain 2-0 in their AFC Asian Qualifiers - Road to 2026 Group C tie on Thursday to punch their ticket to next year's tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico after a dominant run in qualifying.

The four-time Asian champions have never gone beyond the last 16 at a FIFA World Cup but captain Endo addressed fans on the pitch after the game and urged them to believe they can lift the trophy next summer.
