Joey Pelupessy Unfazed by Osaka Weather vs. Japan

Joey Pelupessy, Indonesia national team midfielder who plays for Lommel SK, shared his thoughts on the weather conditions in Osaka ahead of the match against Japan — the final fixture in Group C of the third round of the 2026 Asian World Cup Qualifiers.

The match, which will take place at Suita Football City Stadium, is no longer decisive for either team — Japan has already secured a spot in the 2026 World Cup, while Indonesia has secured a place in the fourth round of qualifiers.

Responding to media questions about Osaka’s frequent rain, Pelupessy said it wasn’t a big deal — his experience playing in the Netherlands and England has made him accustomed to similar conditions.
