We are right in the thick of the qualification period for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the Qantas Socceroos travel to Japan to take on the Blue Samurai in a massive encounter in which a win could see us book our place for the finals in Brazil.

This will be our last away match in this set of qualifiers and our boys will need all the support they can get against this higher ranked opponent. With only home matches against Jordan and Iraq to follow, this 90 minutes of play could turn out to be the most important in all our player's careers.

The rivalry between the two sides is building up to be one of our fiercest throughout Asia, and with so much on the line, you can expect this clash will be one to remember.

Twin share prices for this event start from $499pp with extra nights, single prices and international airfares available upon request

The Event

The Qantas Socceroos have taken on Japan 20 times in their playing history with both teams having won 7 times and also playing out 6 draws. Our most famous contest against Japan came in the 2006 FIFA World Cup group stage where we came back from a goal down in the last 10 minutes to win 3-1 thanks largely to 2 goals from Tim Cahill.

Since that match, we have taken on the Blue Samurai in Asian Cup matches and World Cup qualifiers with the last match played at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on 12th June 2012 where the Aussies with 10 men, fought back on the back of a Luke Wilkshire penalty to force a 1-1 draw.
