A contract has been signed between Tigres and the JFA for Japan to hold its World Cup pre-season training at the CET. Currently, the Tigres Training Center is undergoing adjustments and improvements to meet FIFA standards. Although it already has regulation-sized pitches, the complex is still receiving updates in key areas like the gym to ensure the Asian team has all necessary facilities during their stay. Finally, after playing their historic match in Monterrey on June 20, Japan will conclude its group stage participation on June 25 against Sweden in Kansas City. According to the established plans, the Japanese team will use this complex as their logistical and sports 'bunker'. Japan's schedule reveals a complex operation: the team will arrive in Monterrey during the first days of June to begin a pre-adaptation phase. This decision, confirmed by Monterrey Host City authorities, positions the facilities in San Nicolás de los Garza as a key point for the tournament's development in Mexican territory. The choice of the CET by the Blue Samurais is not a coincidence, but a response to strategic logistical planning. This organization highlights the importance of Monterrey not only as a host city for matches, but as an elite operations center for international football powers. The second match is particularly significant, as the Japan vs. Tunisia match in Monterrey will be an unprecedented milestone: it will be the thousandth match in the history of the World Cup. Japan will then travel to the United States for their debut on June 14 against the Netherlands in Dallas, before returning to the Sultana del Norte to prepare for their second match.
