Go U.S. Soccer! 🇺🇸

On June 12, the opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, featuring the U.S. against Paraguay, will take place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. ⚽

The photo shows the statue of former U.S. national team player Cobi Jones, located at the LA Galaxy's home stadium. 🏟️

Consul General Kosei Murota is an avid soccer fan; he has vivid memories of watching Cobi Jones play during the 1994 FIFA World Cup held in the United States. 🥰

The Consulate is keeping a close eye on Christian Pulisic during this tournament. Consul Kuroiwa, who handles sports affairs at the Consulate (and is on temporary assignment from the Japan Football Association), previously worked for the Bundesliga club, Borussia Dortmund. Consul Kuroiwa has a personal memory with Pulisic, having witnessed the player’s success with the team after moving to Germany as a teenager. 🇩🇪

The Consulate cheers for the success of not only SAMURAI BLUE (the Japan national soccer team) but also the U.S. national team! 📣🙌

Go United States Men's National Team!

室田幸靖総領事は大のサッカーファンで、1994年FIFAワールドカップ アメリカ大会時のCobi選手のプレーがとても印象に残っているそうです。
当館が今大会で注目する選手はクリスチャン・プリシッチ選手です。当館のスポーツ担当の黒岩領事(日本サッカー協会からの出向者)は、以前、ブンデスリーガのボルシア・ドルトムントに職員として勤務した経験があり、10代でドイツに渡ったプリシッチ選手が、当時のチームで活躍していたというご縁があります。
当館はSAMURAI BLUE(サッカー日本代表チーム)だけでなく、アメリカ代表チームの活躍も応援しています!

On May 29, Consul General Kosei Murota visited the Port of Los Angeles and met with Executive Director Gene Seroka to learn more about the port’s operations and discuss areas to strengthen ties between Japan and the Port of LA, including in cybersecurity and supply chain resilience.

Japan is one of the Port of Los Angeles’ top trading partners, with trade volume totaling approximately $48 billion in 2025. The Port of LA also has Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with the Port of Nagoya, Port of Tokyo, and Port of Yokohama to create green shipping corridors. Japanese companies are contributing to the decarbonization of port operations through technology and other innovative solutions.

The Port of LA is a global leader in cybersecurity and was the first seaport in the world to establish a Cyber Resilience Center, which is an automated port community solution.

Thank you for hosting us and we look forward to continuing our collaboration to promote secure, sustainable, and resilient maritime trade.
