Japanese football legend Kazuyoshi Miura, aged 59 years and 149 days, scored his first official goal in nearly four years during Fukushima United's 7-0 victory over Iwaki Furukawa in the Emperor's Cup. The goal, a volley, helped his team advance to the next round. Miura, a former Japanese international with 89 caps, last scored competitively in November 2022 for Suzuka PG. He is set to begin his 42nd professional season after extending his loan to Fukushima United until June 2027. As Japanese leagues transition to an autumn-spring schedule, Miura will continue playing into his sixties, adding to his enduring career.
