The Japanese football (soccer) team may not have progressed far in real World Cup but Japan dominated its way to the 2026 Volcano World Cup Championship. The country with hundreds of volcanoes and tens of millions of people living near them is a well deserved victor over impressive México.

The volcanoes of Japan.

Congratulations, Japan!
