When will Japan vs Costa Rica play for the World Cup in Qatar?
The match will be played this Sunday from 7 a.m. (Argentine time) at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, in the city of Al Rayan, with Englishman Michel Oliver refereeing, who has played 330 Premier League games since he began directing in the 2010-2011 season,
It is not usual for a match between teams with such disparate premieres. Japan stunned the world by beating Germany 2-1 after starting down 1-0, and having been outplayed by their rival throughout the first half, while Costa Rica looked like an amateur team as they fell 7-0 against to Spain.
The Japanese have the possibility of advancing to the round of 16 if they beat the Central Americans and if Spain defeats Germany in the match that will also be held this Sunday but from 4:00 p.m. at the Al Bayt Stadium, in the city of Jor.

If Japan and Spain win, they will both reach six points and advance to the round of 16, since in this case the Germans and “Ticos” will remain at zero, while any other result between the Europeans will make the match for the third date between Iberian and Japanese is defining.
Japan reached the round of 16 three times (2002, 2010 and 2018) and the team led by Hajime Moriyasu after such a debut, with a second half for history, wants to finalize the classification.
Costa Rica, led by the Colombian Luis Suárez and with goalkeeper Keylor Navas, Lionel Messi’s teammate at French PSG, will try to improve its image, something that shouldn’t be very complicated because you can’t play worse than what you did against Spain.
