Japan and South Korea Set to Renew Acquaintances in Yokohama - K League United

Japan and South Korea will meet Thursday night at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama for the first time since Paulo Bento's men lifted the 2019 EAFF-E1 title back in December 2019.
Japan and South Korea haven't contested a World Cup qualifier since the 1998 cycle!
In the meantime, Japan has faced Australia in a world cup, 3 qualifying groups, and the Asian Cup finals, and South Korea-Iran has been in a similar position.
It's the first international friendly between the two sides since 2011 but there is still an edge present as Moriyasu was quoted as saying that people watch matches between Japan and South Korea differently.
World Cup qualifiers are fast approaching in June, so adding depth to the group could prove essential as Korea looks to qualify for its tenth consecutive finals.
