Tokyo: Japan will be led by Keita Nakano in the AFC U-16 Championship Malaysia 2018 Finals.
Head coach Yoshiro Moriyama’s charges qualified for the Finals after finishing as Group J winners with an impressive record of 35 goals scored without conceding a single goal, and it is no surprise that Nakano is in the squad, having scored eight goals in three games.
