Daichi Kamada has signed a new contract with Crystal Palace until the summer of 2027. The 29-year-old midfielder has been with Palace for the past two years, making 89 appearances for the club and playing a key role in their FA Cup and Uefa Conference League triumphs. Over the last two years Daichi has made a great impact in the centre of midfield, as well as becoming a fans' favourite on and off the pitch.
The World Cup marked its 1000th game with Japan thrashing Tunisia 4-0 on Saturday to close in on a place in the last 32. Ayase Ueda scored twice while Daichi Kamada and Junya Ito were also on target as the Asian giants joined the Netherlands on four points at the top of Group F.
Daichi Kamada scored on a header off Koki Ogawa's corner kick in the 88th minute, sending the Samurai Blue fans into a frenzy and giving Japan a 2-2 draw with the Netherlands in their World Cup opener on Sunday.
