48-year-old scores in professional soccer game in Japan
Kazu is still balling in the J. League 2.
Kazuyoshi Miura is one of Japan’s original soccer icons, and he’s still playing pro ball. The 48-year-old scored for Yokohama FC in a J. League 2 game against Jubilo Iwata on Sunday, scoring his first goal since 2013. Miura only made two very brief cameo appearances last season, but he’s back to getting occasional starts, and apparently earning them. And he even did the Kazu dance!
“Kazu,” who is Japan’s second-leading goal scorer internationally, last appeared and scored for the senior national team in 2000. He’s currently the oldest player in Japan’s professional leagues.
