Japón, el primer rival de Los Leones en el Mundial de hockey 2026
El equipo de Lucas Rey se encuentra en 7mo en el ranking internacional y consiguió la clasificación a este certamen cuando salió campeón de la Copa Panamericana 2025, mientras que el conjunto asiático (16º en el ranking FIH) lo hizo desde el Premundial, ganándole 5 a 4 a Malasia y asegurándose su lugar.
En el último Mundial, en India 2023, Los Leones llegaron a cuartos de final tras pasar segundos y luego cayeron por shootouts contra Corea del Sur, mientras que Japón no logró pasar la fase de grupos, perdiendo los tres partidos contra: Bélgica, Alemania y Corea del Sur.
Argentina vs. Japón: se cruzaron tres veces en Mundiales
En esta competencia, el equipo japonés particpo de cinco ediciones: 1971 (9º lugar), 1973 (10º), 2002 (12º), 2006 (9º) y 2023 (15º). Solo en tres oportunidades jugaron en contra de Los Leones, y siempre fue en fases eliminatorias.
En 1971 los asiáticos vencieron a la selección argentina por 2 a 0, que finalizó en el 10mo puesto, en 1973 hubo revancha y esta vez fue para el conjunto albiceleste, que se quedó con el 9no lugar y en 2006 volvieron a encontrarse por el mismo puesto, y la victoria fue nuevamente para el equipo de Asia.
