When the second round draw for Asian World Cup qualifying takes place in Kuala Lumpur next week, fans, players and officials in the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan will be praying for one outcome.
"The people here want Japan because most of the youth out here are fans of Kagawa because he played for Manchester United," Bhutan Football Federation official Phutsho Wangdi said.
"Japan would be the first choice and especially our players too. They said if we play them, its like a dream come true for them because they are their heroes. We grew up watching them."
There is another reason to want Shinji Kagawa, Keisuke Honda and the rest of the record four-times Asian champion's squad to play at the picturesque Changlimithang Stadium — money.
The world's worst side at 209th in the FIFA rankings, Bhutan received no funding from the government and played only two matches in two years.
Those matches, though, were against Sri Lanka in the first round of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, which resulted in a miraculous 3-1 aggregate win on its tournament debut. Only its fourth and fifth victories ever.
