Kazuyoshi Miura, known as "King Kazu", has set a new J.League record as the oldest player to feature in Japan's third-tier. At 59 years, eight months and 12 days old, he extended his own J.League record.
Miura was introduced as a substitute during Fukushima United's 4-1 home victory against FC Ryukyu. This appearance marks his return to league play since 2021, when he played a single match in Japan's top flight for Yokohama FC.
His professional career has now entered its 42nd season, spanning five decades. Miura ended a nearly four-year goal drought in July, scoring in the Emperor's Cup.
