Kazuyoshi Miura, the world’s oldest professional footballer, has written another page in history after scoring his first goal in almost four years. The 59-year-old striker struck for Fukushima United in Japan’s third division during a 7-0 demolition of Iwaki Furukawa in the Emperor’s Cup.
“King Kazu,” who is now in his 42nd professional season, thereby brought an end to a run of 34 matches without scoring. His previous goal had come in November 2022 for Atlético Suzuka.
“Seeing the players, the coaching staff and the fans celebrate that goal together made me incredibly happy,” the veteran forward said.
The former Japan international, who represented clubs such as Santos, Genoa and Dinamo Zagreb, is set to continue his career at least until June 2027.
