For Japanese fans, the name Iraq represents a painful memory. This history dates back to 1994, when the Japanese national team was not yet a leader in Asian football as it is now and was still striving to participate in the Asian Cup for the first time. In the final round of the qualifiers, as long as they defeated Iraq, Japan would have qualified for the World Cup for the first time. However, in that game in Doha, Qatar, despite Kazuyoshi Miura scoring for Japan and leading 2-1 until injury time, in the final minute, Iraq's Jaffar Omran took the opportunity of a corner kick to level the score. After the game, Japan's World Cup dream was shattered. This game came to be known as the "Doha Tragedy," and that edition of the national team was called "Doha's Squad." The Japanese fans have a saying, "Never forget Doha," which shows the profound impact on the fans.

Today, another match between Japan and Iraq will take place, also in Doha. Radhi Shenaishil, the coach of Iraq U23 who was a participant in the tragedy 30 years ago, leads the opposing team. There is an exceptional expectation for this game in Japan today, hoping to take this chance to avenge the historical loss. The return of key forward Masahiro Hosoya to break the goal drought and key defender Takaya Nishio brings coach Gaku Ogiwa the opportunity to use the strongest lineup.
