More top 5 league countries, South America and a bit of Africa lol.

Even Japan are now targeting their diaspora of players who want to play for Japan, they announced a blue lock camp for under 15 prospects around the world that have Japanese ancestry.
But in the schemes of things if countries like Japan are looking at duel national players then it shows the times have changed and we cant be standing in these sorts of issues.

Japan and especially Korea’s problem is a declining population. Korea has 52 million people but may only have eight million next century. Companies and the government pay parents to have kids.

The issue Japan may have recruiting diaspora is that their diaspora is quite limited as Japanese tend to migrate a lot less than other Asians because Japan has such a high quality of life. They’ve got Everton’s Yūka Momiki (born in the US) playing for the Nadeshiko but they don’t scout from the diaspora that much for that reason. Also, Japan are better at football than most countries their diaspora live in. The top 10 countries with the highest Japanese diaspora populations are Brazil, America, Peru, Canada, Australia, China, Mexico, Argentina and Thailand. Only Argentina and Brazil are better at football.

It will be interesting to see how their blue lock approach when it comes to finding the best talent outside of Japan from under 15 level will go.
Clearly they feel they lack some edge there overseas counter parts.
