King Kazu oo 59 jir ah ayaa dhaliyay goolkiisii ugu horeeyay ee rasmi ah muddo aan ka yarayn afar sano
Kazuyoshi Miura ayaa gool ka dhaliyay kooxda Fukushima United ee tartanka Emperor's Cup
Kazuyoshi Miura oo 59 jir ah iyo kan loo yaqaan 'King Kazu' ayaa dhaliyay goalkiisii ugu horeeyay ee tartan rasmi ah muddo aan ka yarayn afar sano. Wuxuu ahaa ooyinkii ugu horreeyay tan iyo Noofambar 2022, isagoo weli ah ooyinkii ugu da'da weynaa ee kubada cagta xirfadda leh.
Goolka Fukushima United iyo guushii kooxda
Kazuyoshi Miura ayaa gool dhaliyay daqiiqaddii 52-aad ee ciyaarta isagoo u dhaliyay Fukushima United, koox ka tirsan heerka saddexaad ee J-League. Kulanku wuxuu qayb ka ahaa tartanka Emperor's Cup, halkaas oo kooxdiisu ay si adag u garaacday Iwaki Furukawa 7-0.
Saddex daqiiqo ka dib markuu gool dhaliyay, Miura waa laga saaray garoonka. Tani waxay ahayd goalkiisii ugu horeeyay ee tartan rasmi ah tan iyo Noofambar 2022, markaas oo uu gool u dhaliyay Suzuka PG, ee hadda Atletico Suzuka, guuldarro ka soo gaadhay FC Osaka.
Diyaargarowga xilli ciyaareedka 42-aad iyo heshiiska amaahda
Miura wuxuu isu diyaarinayaa xilli ciyaareedkiisa 42-aad ee xirfadda, ka dib markii uu amaahda ku sii fidiyay Fukushima United ilaa Juun 2027. Wuxuu kooxda ku biiray Diseembar ka dib markii uu ka yimid Yokohama FC, wuxuuna soo saaray lix kulan xilli gaaban oo 2026 ah.
Hishiiska amaahda ayaa dammaanad qaadaya inuu sii ciyaari doono marka horyaallada Japan ay u guuraan jadwal aan dhaxal ahayn. Tani waxay ka dhigan tahay inuu sii ciyaari doono inta uu gaarayo da'da 60, isagoo sii wada dhalashada taageerayaasha.
Doonista inuu sii ciyaaro iyo soo jiidashada taageerayaasha
Miura wuxuu hore u sheegay inuusan kabaha ka seexan doonin ilaa uu gaarayo da'da 60. Go'aankani wuxuu muujinayaa go'aan adag oo uu ku raacayo inuu sii joogo garoonka xirfadda kubada cagta muddo dheer oo aan caadi ahayn.
Wuxuu weli ahaa soo jiidasho weyn oo taageerayaasha Japan iyo dibaddaaba. Sumcaddiisa iyo jiritaankiisa ciyaarta ayaa sii wada inay soo jiitaan dad badan oo u xiisaynaya sii socoshada noloshiisa xirfadda ee gaarka ah.
Kazuyoshi Miura scores in Emperor's Cup as world's oldest pro footballer extends career plans
Kazuyoshi Miura, affectionately known as 'King Kazu' and the world's oldest professional footballer at 59, scored his first competitive goal in nearly four years. The strike came for Fukushima United in a 7-0 Emperor's Cup win over Iwaki Furukawa.
Goal ends long wait
Miura struck in the 52nd minute for Fukushima United, a J-League third division side, during the 7-0 victory against Iwaki Furukawa. He was substituted three minutes after scoring, with teammates and staff celebrating the veteran forward's return to the scoresheet.
The goal was his first competitive strike since November 2022, when he netted for Suzuka PG, now Atletico Suzuka, in a Japan Football League defeat by FC Osaka. The 59-year-old's finish revived a remarkable personal record of longevity in professional football.
Contract and career plans
Miura is preparing for his 42nd season as a professional after extending his loan with third-tier Fukushima United until June 2027. He joined the club from Yokohama FC in December and made six appearances in a shortened 2026 campaign.
Japan's professional leagues will switch from a spring-to-autumn schedule to an autumn-to-spring calendar. Miura has insisted he will not hang up his boots until he turns 60, and he remains an enormous draw for fans in Japan and abroad.
Enduring appeal
The former Japan international continues to attract strong interest from supporters despite his age and limited match time. His presence at Fukushima United highlights the enduring global fascination with one of football's longest active careers.
Miura's stated plan to play into his 60s aligns with the league schedule change, letting him remain professional past his birthday. His goal against Iwaki Furukawa adds a new chapter to a career that began decades ago.
