Follow The World’s Oldest Footballer, Kazu Miura, Make History this Weekend

The J.League opens its new season this weekend, but arguably the most intriguing event could happen in the second division.

Veteran striker Kazu Miura celebrates his 52nd birthday on Tuesday, and his club – Yokohama FC – could gift him an appearance when they face Nagasaki on Sunday.

The man who started his unique career in Brazil in 1986 refuses to hang up his boots, and recently extended his Yokohoma contract after making nine substitute appearances in 2018.

Miura's last start was in April 2017, and he is unlikely to be given a chance from the first minute against major opponents, but history will be made even if he enters the field for a few seconds. And we thought Claudio Pizarro may just give him the chance to break yet another record.
